Pros

Very nice work environment. Many activities for workers (indoor gym, seafood chef, many lounge areas, cafeteria) Somewhat easy to be promoted positions are usually available for higher pay with training

Cons

Must work in freezing weather, can be unbearable at times. Company does not renew equipment causing many issues that, ofcourse, we have to deal with. Speaking spanish is not mandatory but may as well be. Maybe 80% of workers were hispanic.

Pros

What I loved about this job is getting full ownership over my part of the business, and I know a lot of people stick around because they feel a similar passion and ownership. Even though the company is 25 years old, there are still many areas where a much work is needed and therefore great opportunity for new people to come in and make big impact.

Cons

No flexibility for employees to work from home when needed, and terrible PTO package. The family leadership is not transparent, makes questionable business decisions.
