What a ripoff

Pros

Okay salary. PST is good. Its just a job...

Cons

Compensation is constantly changed to take money out of the sellers. I believe they have perfected it now. Incompetent Managers. Benefts are not great. Promotions are non existent unless you are a huge brown noser and back stabber to your fellow employees. You cant trust any above you. Only brown nosers get recognition, everyone else gets talked down to. No career here.

Pros

Strong culture focused on respect, teamwork, safety, and continuous improvement. The team environment is one of the best parts of working here — people are willing to help each other and work together to achieve goals. Great opportunity to develop leadership skills and grow professionally through training programs and internal career opportunities.

Cons

Sometimes decision-making can take longer due to multiple levels of communication and approval. There are opportunities to continue improving communication between different departments to ensure everyone is aligned with priorities and expectations.
