Pros

* All of these Pros will not reflect the company as a whole, it will reflect what business I work for.* Work life balance is actually a thing here. I have coworkers that I look forward to seeing outside of work. I have a great leader and I like a vast majority of everyone I work with on a daily basis. The insurance benefits are the best I have every had pricewise. They have a great maternal and paternal leave policy.

Cons

Lack of pay transparency coupled with the fact that there have been personnel cuts every year since I have hired on. The personnel cuts are hanging over everyone head like a black cloud. Alot of the roles do not even get back filled either therefore leaving the work shifted to the remaining employees. Also, the bonuses are not anything to write home about (about the equivalent of a normal paycheck). I am thankful I get one, but it is not a crazy amount like I hear some of the other plants give out.

Pros

-Work-life balance great for young family -non-monetary benefits are some of best in industry -safety culture is good

Cons

-base pay and bonus structure doesn't actually reward performance -base pay is on the middle/lower end of industry -decision making at more of a global/technology scale often drives efficiency way down -DEI is pushed on all employees way to often

Pros

Honestly a good company, laid back no Supervisor's watching you. Pay and benefits are nice. Get your work done and be ready for the next day.

Cons

The actual good people always leave, there are people who are getting hired that shouldn't been hired in the first place and they continue to have those folks stick around when they don't even know the basics!!!! How hard is it to hire competent people especially the interns. Listen to us!!
