Pros

Great for someone with no job history to experience the corporate world or a mother with kids that may need a flexible schedule.

Cons

Going through massive layoffs due to a product recall that killed over 150 people. Company currently is not profitable and has been bleeding money for years now as a result. New CEO took over October 2022 and only cares about shareholders. He started layoffs two weeks after he took over. Employees are doing the workload of what used to be 3 people. If a company is losing money…. There is no room for advancement, raises, bonuses, etc. A lot of amazing people lost their jobs.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
