Pros

Employees are generally friendly, which helped offset the stressful work environment and long hours. Pay, medical benefits, and PTO are competitive for the market.

Cons

This company doesn't value competent employees. Underachievers are routinely promoted and picked to manage teams, with distraous results to employee performance and team morale. Management pulls on high performing employees to carry the weight with little recognition. Work/life balance is laughable, especially during severe weather. Your life is driven by daily weather forecasts. Diversity and inclusion is all talk, with no follow through. There are few leadership opportunities for people of color and no diversity training for managers. There is open racism with no repercussions. The company is routinely awarded for its diversity practices, which is puzzling given the realities. HR is ill equipped to lead a 21st century workplace.

Pros

Pay is decent if you can stay under 45hrs per week.

Cons

Too much focus on reducing overhead costs. Employees get stuck with more work than they can handle. Overtime PAY must be approved beforehand or you will just get regular pay no matter how many hours you work. Your manager will not request overtime pay because it looks bad on them. Therefore you will be left with 2 options. work many hours of unpaid overtime week after week or face disciplinary actions for the work not getting done.
