Pros

The pay is decent and you won't need to work hard.

Cons

Management is layered like an onion (2-3 tiers of "authority" in meetings; micromanagement). Most management has been there >10 years, resulting in complacency, entitlement, and mediocrity (that's being generous). When suggesting a new way of setting goals for operations, as one of my first big projects, I was told that I "shouldn't have any ideas at my level" and to do it the way they did it in the past, which project stakeholders unanimously agreed did not work. HR Director doubled down and told me the same thing and that "they do things differently" than the tech company I came from. No appetite for growth or human decency (my manager never even asked me the name of my kids or a single question about my family or hobbies... in >4 months). If you like to talk about golf and be shut down every time you speak by someone who wears flip-flops and Hawaiian shirts, work here!

Pros

Break room Covered work area good lighting

Cons

Deceptive Company policy that is hard to access (Need to create a case with HR to review policies that are not easily located). Management over work with little notice for demand of Overtime. Management Typically uses google search to base their decisions instead of consulting their diagnostic team. Over demand of core job responsibilities ( Doing more than what you agreed to do upon hire). If Something was missed or not performed a certain way management will stop your production to show what you did wrong with the expectation that you will still hit production targets. Management also tends to talk down instead of a coaching approach. If you happen to go above and beyond (which is hard to do) little rewards come your way ( Things that wont come). Typical work shifts consists of maintaining a pace that is hard to achieve to always hit targets even if several roadblocks are in the way that you cant avoid. Overall working here I found it difficult to effectively communicate with management or other co-workers. * Working here I have personally experienced Sexual harassment and sexual assault, I have informed management and have heard no update on that topic other than "talked to said employee". Then Said Employee's behavior changed and found it extremely difficult to perform duties.
