Pros

-The experience. Although, this really depends on your manager and your team's activities. Like all places, management has a mix of managers. Supply chain has a couple of good managers, but mostly poor ones. They might be good at what they do, but they are poor leaders. Advise to everyone: Just because someone is good at getting the job done, it does not mean they will make good managers/directors. Some managers lack basic introspection skills/critical thinking skills/empathy and don't see high turn out as their problem, they see as they employee not being 'good'.

Cons

-Salary is below market average -Bonus structure is a joke -Healthcare is an even bigger joke (I got more coverage and had lower payments with the insurance offered as a PT employee at (will not name) store when I was in college than I do at a Fortune 500 company. -As of January, BDSI aligned with Boeing titles, this meant that a bunch of us employees who were salary were 'demoted' to hourly (this was done to employees who had been here for over 5 years as well not just new employees). -There is a cafeteria where food is expensive AF. -Their idea of gifts is vouchers for the above mentioned cafeteria. -They've also prohibited employee use of single-stall/unisex restrooms and forcing employees to use their keycards to be allowed into the other restrooms. - Warehouse employees make $11-12/hr. Even Amazon pays more. For anyone thinking of applying: DON'T. You could probably make more money, get treated better.

Pros

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
