Pros

Convenient to where I live.

Cons

Friends promote friends even if unqualified. Training was non- existent and you rely on your co-workers for directions which is purely “tribal knowledge” does not exist in policies and procedures. I have witnessed so many violations of OT not being recorded per directions from supervisor as it is not allowed.

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
