Pros
Hard-working local staff, 50% put in their best effort and the some, there are some truly skilled people and opportunities for learning.
Cons
Management, including upper management is heavily skewed white male. Management is also focused on only making money and meeting EBITDA (which any self respecting MBA program would tell you is a useless metric). The money is made at the cost of quality, regulatory compliance, employee health and wellness, high overtime and turnover rates, and dishonesty. Be prepare to work yourself to death and be guilt tripped into pulling 200% your weight, taking on jobs you aren't qualified for, being held accountable for management mistakes and missteps, and losing all quality time with family. Everyone is looking for a better job with better pay and training. Element won't spend money training you, but will make every attempt to save money, even if it means spending 3x what they would save with 5S projects. Quality is severely understaffed everywhere and salaried (expect overtime without pay). Management will take bonuses during pandemics after they've made all locations fire/furlough employees and froze raises across the company.
