Pros

Pay seems to be above average. Fair benefits along with some unique benefits Job is stress free. Rotating schedule creates a lot of time off (you work 183 days of the year at work compared to the 260 days of a 5 day work week or 208 days of a 4 day work week. Prioritizes safety and food safety. Makes a commitment to self sustainability and recycling.

Cons

Most of these cons are attributed to the Ennis, Texas site being new and are growing pains. Company attempts to let on as a progressive/unique style of employer but is still stuck in a original corporate style of employment. Massive lack of communication at all levels Disorganized, lacks proper job resources like documentation, proper schematics, parts management, scheduling confidence, proper training is The companys Core values are integrity, innovation, respect, teamwork, partnership, results, and environmental stewardship but lack the very important value of ACCOUNTABILITY and it shows. Management and leadership in Ennis (not supervisors) lack proper leadership skills, fundamental understanding of succesful manufacturing process, floor experience, adaptive resolution and concern from employee feedback. No team building events, company picnics, Christmas dinners etc.

Pros

Great pay, benefits, bonuses. There are a lot of talented and genuinely good people who work for this company. If you work in the office you can get 5 weeks of PTO. Most people are out of the office by 3 or 4.

Cons

As company gets bigger, some perks are disappearing. It happens with any startup.
