Pros

HR department is supportive to concerns. Tricia is very nice and understanding. Fun culture, free soda, there's a cafe on premises. fun team building events.

Cons

They treat salaried employees like hourly wage employees, even if you're gone 1 hour you need to use PTO. They keep long term poor managers even if their department dislikes them just because they they've been there for " 20 years". Some love it here but some of the managers play favorites. I heard one of the supply chain areas was toxic. If you're an engineer, they love you. No Room for advancement because there are so many layers of management, and they play favorites even if there's someone more qualified. *** HR: when an employee leaves LISTEN to what they have to say about their manager at the exit interview.- you keep BAD managers on just because they've been there all their lives. NO WORK- LIFE BALANCE***

Pros

One day a week to work at home. Good and affordable benefits program. Three floating holidays.

Cons

Culture needs work. Alot of siloes that making getting things done difficult at times. There is also a pattern of individuals not responding to or acting upon requests for information or assistance, and then the requester being held responsible for the lack of progress.
