Pros

Wages appear reasonable at time of hire, but......

Cons

Reviews are only done when the employee requests it and even though your review may state that you have exceeded the expectations of your job, no raise is awarded. No pay increases are ever given to employees, some worked there as long as 10 years, this is VERY normal. Management in the Renton office claims that reviews (pay increases) are no longer standard in this day and age and in this industry. REALLY? What planet do they live on? Management is brought in new, very unprofessional and lacking the experience necessary to conduct their jobs rather than promoting from within. Training for new management at local level is done by workers that actually do the job and do it well. Employees are not valued whatsoever, opinion is they can always be replaced in this economy.

Pros

Excellent pay and benefits. No manager standing over me, i am left alone to do my job. I always know what I have to do and am trusted to do it. I couldn't ask for a better job. The company is very environmentally conscious.

Cons

Communication is somewhat lacking, but if you ask questions you will eventually get what you need. Change is frequent here and it can get disorienting at times.
