Pros

They do offer pretty decent compensation, training, and there are always plenty of hours.

Cons

Management is so detached from their employees, and reality it makes it difficult to do anything or get anywhere within the company. HR is never available. Direct managers love to play the favorites game that makes drama and the feel of being in high school. The way managent treats employees is apauling. If it doesn’t benefit your managers back pocket forget about it. They’re too worried about getting their bonuses rather than employee growth and retention. Company shifted their structure, and it’s made a worse impact on the company, I’ve seen multiple employees with 10+ years quit without notice in the last year.

Pros

Global leader in segment, safety procedures, and values.

Cons

Recently top management is obsessed with generating profits by cutting headcount, leading to higher workloads, and then they talk about mental wellbeing. In 2026 the strategy is only to generate profits, even if it means we risk our own sales.
