Pros

- cool products with a strong engineering working group - In office pet policy

Cons

- Strong nepotism culture starting with the CEO. Friends are hired and promoted while dissenters are terminated without cause. - Feedback is not encourage and is actively punished, up to termination - Consistently shifting product direction due to micromanagement from executive suite causes churn and confusion, resulting in burnout - Weak job security and benefits compared to industry standards and competitors locally - E-Suite violates professional boundaries, texting and calling employees on their personal phones during off hours - Promotion is dependent on how well the CEO likes you and if you are “someone he would want to get beers with”

Pros

It's a family, a culture that is unique to the manufacturing industry. I have worked in many manufacturing facilities in my career, and Whisker has the most unique culture I have encountered. There are "those" days of course like any place that you feel like pulling your hair out, but, we get through it, help each other and move on. You don't mind going that extera mile for the place because they take care of you. Mangers are flexible and easy to work with and listen. Supervisors, and managers really listen to the associate concerns. And they not only listen, they act on those concerns whenever possible. Whisker is worth the time to check out, maybe become one of the family?

Cons

We do work our share of overtime, but they try to manage it so we can get the time off when needed. Sometimes short staffed, but what facility isn't from time to time. We do all woerk together to move associates to the lines that need help at the time, leads and mangers help out to come up with solutions.
