Stuck in time

Pros

The on-site employee gyms are available for employees to use on their lunch break or before/after work. Summer hours (4 9 hour days, 4 hour Friday) is nice for flexibility. From what I've seen, most all departments are aging, lots of room for career advancement. New president seems very ambitious I believe he will steer the company in the right direction.

Cons

Office environment is stuck in the 1990s, very heads down, vending machines full of unhealthy food, dated office space in general, the atmosphere sways more towards a manufacturer rather than a health and fitness company. Office location is not near any mass transit facilities, owning a car is virtually a must. Company data is spread across multiple platforms, making simple tasks clunky and slow. Pay could be a little better, especially if they want to recruit younger talent living in the city.

Great experience at first. Empty promises, reeled back in from opportunity

Pros

Great co-workers. People are willing to teach and train you on new things. Flexible culture, casual work attire, and nice on site gym’s (non-covid times) There are good recent efforts to fix major operational hurdles. Still probably won’t be out of the hole for a few years though. Exciting and interesting industry.

Cons

Company has not given a compensation raise since the time I was hired (a little over two years), but work load continues to pile up. Management makes you feel guilty for not working unpaid overtime ( I refuse to do that at the salary I am given), I have a second job to make ends meet and can’t work overtime... so either pay us more, or lower your expectations. Management will give you a new opportunity with your only reward being “experience”. I guess that’s good if you are looking to boost up your resume and leave. The promise of a big raise has been dangled in front of me since the first day I was on boarded... it’s not coming, no matter how much work i put in. This has been a trend prior to covid. There are ppl in my department who have worked for the company 5+ years and still make less than $20 an hour.
