Pros

-Great stepping stone to pad your resume. -Quick but limited advancement oportunity due to incredibly high turn over rate. -the middle management team is good, they help to the capacity they are capable of considering their work loads. -the general floor staff/technicians are a good group of people who do their best to learn and develope in a chaotic and disorganized facility.

Cons

-high turn over rate. -General Manager openly disrespects Engineers and other degreed personnel, does not value employees with furthered education. -General Manager does not value his people. Does not teach or develope his personnel, current middle leadership is self taught and inefficient due to this issue. -no time is given to properly train the staff, training tossed aside to push for 50 hr work weeks to maximize production followed by unhappy lectures about how training isnt happening. -work life balance is atrocious -General Manager will openly lie to employees about an opportunity to deligate his tasks. -Nepotism, the Planning Manager is married to the General Manager and faces no accountability for neglected or incorrectly done tasks. -Great place to work if you want to occupy multiple organizational positions for the pay of 1 role. -No loyalty from leadership to the higher producing and core role employees with in the lab. -No notes of positivity for jobs well done, you only know when you did something wrong. -"you should just be happy youre employed" direct quote when asked for opportunities to work toward.

Pros

Good starting salary, interesting work, sometimes possible to earn a decent bonus. Some people who work there are very nice, some camaraderie.

Cons

Toxic team energy, poor and even toxic management, constantly changing management team and expectations, no long term strategy, no clear or attainable path to career advancement, no job specific training, high expectations, bonus structure changes often so once you earn good money it will go away, tend to overload existing employees instead of hiring enough people, “boys club” on some levels (lots of favoritism). My job basically got switched the minute I started to include way more responsibilities. Diversity initiatives, but in practice I felt there was still discrimination. Bit of a revolving door, did not seem to be much value placed on retention. Individual sites basically compete against each other, you could be doing well or have a good idea and they may still give the opportunity to someone else across the company. Overall didn’t seem like anyone (even my own team) really cared that I worked there.
