Pros

Was a great place to work because of the people meaning co workers. Found it to be great experience.

Cons

Very micro managed from office personnel to management on the floor. If your a good worker in your area or dept, Good luck moving up or latterally . Managers and supervisers act like they must keep you under their thumb as if your trying to get something over on them or you may know something they dont. People in some positions that shouldnt be just because of a degree but dont know sqawt.

Pros

There are still many dedicated employees across the organization who care deeply about the work, customers, and results. Historically, the company benefited from strong institutional knowledge and a collaborative environment that supported operational success.

Cons

In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift in culture and organizational approach following senior leadership changes. This included significant turnover and restructuring that affected both personnel and established processes. As a result, many long-standing practices and experienced team members were replaced or deprioritized quickly, and in some cases without fully retaining institutional knowledge that previously supported efficiency and consistency. This transition has contributed to a decline in morale and trust among portions of the workforce. Communication and employee engagement have also felt more top-down, and the organization has, at times, felt more disconnected from the operational teams who execute the day-to-day work.
