Pros

There are some really great individuals here and in certain areas they have a great amount of talent

Cons

Don't work here. Seen lot of people fired, let go, or quit. Towards the end, mostly quit. They are essentially managed by a recycled amount of 'talent' that has little to offer, but enough arrogance to compensate. No new ideas. The employees often talk about 'when will the company be sold' and do not expect performance reviews or training. I received zero training. You also have weird relationships because you have management in Kansas City. And if you have been a manager long enough you can get away with anything including not managing your team. For new people don't expect raises. They expect a lot from new people, not a lot from people who have been their awhile. Also, they are focusing on expansion (not building a quality product/service) and are doing everything to suggest they want to be sold in the next 3-5 years (not to mention the owner is 80+, owned by a private equity firm, etc.).

Pros

Fantastic people and transparency across the department on goals and KPIs necessary for business success.

Cons

I had no previous negative events at Metronet. Expectations can be lofty but are fantastic to continue driving for personal improvement.

Pros

- relatively easy work once trained - efficient workers can complete responsibilities and have free time - generally low-stress if everyone is making progress

Cons

- very low base pay (lowered from 22 to 19/hr to start since the pandemic) - fixed promotion schedule means overachieving is not rewarded - company has regularly been laying people off and promising new tech tools and AI systems will make up for the lack of workers (it has not) - most of the higher-ups in the company are white men that seem to be entirely disconnected from the reality of their employees - increasingly higher demands regarding production time and workflows, yet company refuses to hire more workers
