Pros

-Growing company providing room to advance career -lots of overtime

Cons

PTO and work life balance was the benefit that drew many of us to this company. They provided 192 hours pto per year at the start of employment, very generous policy. It brought a lot of talent on board. Beginning 2025, all employees with 0-4 years tenure will receive 80 hours instead. -Promotions are not merit based -Corporate execs making decisions they don’t understand -takes roughly a years time to get a raise after being assured it’s coming. -recent company and policy changes have been disappointing -poor QOL outlook -55+hours/week expected with 2 weeks total vacation/sick/personal/anythingbesideswork days

Pros

Benefits are good. PTO Day 1.

Cons

No advancement opportunity. They claim they hire internally, but they don't seem to adhere to that. Out of nowhere, hours were cut from 40 hours to 32 for our particular shift due to "business needs". However it seems like we are rarely caught up at the end of the night. The same position on another shift did not lose nearly as many hours. Then, there was a location wide meeting where they bragged about record sales and record profits. Seems pretty insensitive to do in front of employees who lost over 20% of their pay. The manager comes off as completely harsh and rude. When you fill out a survey stating facts, they are met with a dismissive tone followed by, "you know this is not true". Training is non existent. Other underpaid employees have to train you so it's like a game of telephone where the training contains just a little less information or a little more incorrect information each time. Pay for other positions in the organization is below average. When applying for those positions internally, they want to base pay on your current role instead of based on qualifications for the job being offered. There is a pay range listed for jobs, don't expect to get anywhere near the top and you are LUCKY to see the middle of that range. Pay raises are not anywhere near inflation rates, so if you stay more than a year you are losing money.
