Pros

Realizing early in my employment how terrible this company is.

Cons

Forced to manage violent sexual offenders they bring into the facility from Thompson prison to work at the Jefferson plant. Numerous management colleagues fired for cocaine and sexual harassment of employees. HR department has zero leadership or control of the facility. Benefits are awful and culture is toxic due to the value stream managers.

Pros

You will learn a lot by yourself because there are very limited people can teach you anything.

Cons

People turn over rate is very high. doesn't matter in the office or on the floor. Managers doesn't care about you. Everything is about their KPI and how to make them looked good. You will find out very difficult to work on anything because no one taking responsibility. Lack of communication and knowledge in every department.

Pros

It's a job. Not really sure what people are seeing as a pro here the overpriced cafeteria or the good ol boys club?

Cons

The recent bonus was the biggest slap in the face to anyone who is a lower-level employee here. We get quarterly bonuses. Last quarter they brought us back into the office. Most employees disagreed with that decision and preferred working from home. Profits for last quarter were more than double what they were a year ago. But our bonus was one third of what it was a year ago only 2.5%. The good old boys club is out of control. HR is awful doesn't listen and can't hire more employees in a timely manner. Going the extra mile will only get you a slap on the wrist. If you are female, a minority, or under the age of 40 stay away from company. Speaking up or calling out the BS will only hurt you at this company. Don't waste your time while the bigwigs go out and party and take all the bonus money. They say they reward us by giving us sub sandwiches, but they reward themselves with fancy steak dinners, fancy Sports tickets, loads of time off, fancy trips, and call it doing business. If they have the title of Vice President it means they make a of money and don't do anything. Just look at who is in the office on a Friday afternoon. All the workers are there during the summer hours amongst each other, but every week all the directors are gone all the VPs are gone all the executives are gone. Not just for half a day, but for a whole day there half day comes on Thursday.
