Pros

Between my wife and I, we've worked in 5 different job settings. In our experience, POET goes above and beyond implementing programs and experiences that translate into phenomenal growth opportunities that have lead to promotions and increased responsibilities. In terms of benefits, POET has always had a keen eye towards what would make the benefits package better. In the years I've been employed, we've added three additional holidays and the 401k match has gone from 3-4%, while the employee component has dropped from 2:1 to 1:1 to achieve the benefit. POET has also focused on family and does it's best to provide flexibility to navigate family situations. Another new program added in the last few years was 40 hours of leave when a new baby comes home or a child is adopted. The focus on employee benefits has been fantastic.

Cons

As in all manufacturing jobs, there can be a level of stress at the biorefinery that must be personally managed. The biorefineries feel understaffed and many folks wear multiple hats.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. At POET, we are committed to maintaining a professional workplace where team members are treated with respect and where clear expectations, accountability, and confidentiality are core standards across our operations. We also want to clarify that team member compensation and personnel records are maintained within secure electronic HR systems rather than physical documents, and access to that information is strictly restricted in accordance with company policy. The situation described does not align with the processes we have in place to protect confidential information. Individual experiences can vary, and we encourage team members to raise questions or concerns through the appropriate internal channels so they can be reviewed and addressed in a timely and constructive way. Our focus remains on supporting a collaborative, purpose-driven environment where team members can contribute, grow, and succeed. — POET
