Pros

Positive work atmosphere. Co-workers are great.

Cons

Company is no longer employee-owned (now owned by private equity). A significant number of upper level and top level leaders are new to the company, so institutional knowledge and company culture are being lost.

Pros

Gained a lot of experience in the field Thorough onboarding and training Covered a required certification process Will help immensely for my future Overall, friendly and helpful employees

Cons

6:30 a.m. start time was a tough adjustment, but I ultimately got used to it. I did cry at the end of my time there, because I knew I would miss the people.

Pros

Due to a lack of management accountability and organizational structure, employees often experience a high degree of autonomy, as there is limited oversight of day-to-day activities.

Cons

The company has experienced substantial changes in executive C-Suite leadership, and current management appears disconnected from the realities of supporting and engaging employees effectively. Ongoing organizational restructuring makes it nearly impossible to build a consistent career development plan within a given role.
