Pros

- Pay was good - Flexible work from home depending on position and department - Seems to have had a solid culture at one point

Cons

- Management doesn't seem to have a plan, a lot of moving targets with no clear direction - They don't efficiently use the technology they do have and the result expectations are that of having better tools to use - A lot of burned out people that when frustrated would play the blame game between departments - At times there seemed to be power struggles within departments and the company

only if you like overtime

Business Outlook

Pros

They start you out at decent pay and really do give you a chance but as long as you get in and train with the right people you'll be set there you might get handled for a few mistakes but all I have to say is there's lots of overtime available if you want it and they almost never have a full staff for each shift except for first.

Cons

While most of the people were good they have such high turnover that no one really knows what they're doing. Upper management doesn't seem to have a fix and it is always pushing things on to someone else to do. I do not foresee this changing anytime soon as they allow certain behaviors to go unchecked only because they can't handle firing anyone which could end up making things better by doing so the people that got seniority get to do pretty much whatever they want with no repercussions
