Little to no growth, they find a way to pay people who get promoted from within less money than someone they hire from outside for the same position. Very little appreciation for self-growth and I got my 2yr and 4yr degree's while working there. I even had excellent performance reviews each year. Leadership has high turnover and hasn't grown the company much. CEO and board members own buildings Litehouse leases (conflict of interest). Leadership makes very poor financial decisions. For example, they opened up a plant in Virgina that has been very poorly executed on. They will dangle the carrot of getting Bonuses, but more often than not they don't pay out a bonus. Turnover is high for this company. Pay and Raises are below industry standards. The Corporate office is in an extremely high housing costs area and pay doesn't compete. Most of the employee promotions happen in HR, Sales and Marketing. Other departments are less desirable to leadership. All 401k match is in company stock, this puts a lot of your retirement savings in 1 basket. Too risky for me. Plus, you have to work their 6yrs to be vested and get that money back. Too many Chiefs and not enough Indians in this company, the company has gotten really top heavy the last few years. Stock value decreased in 2021 and grew very little in 2022. Leadership always wants their people to do things they don't do, for example they pushed us all to do six sigma training but never actually followed through themselves on running a six sigma style company. They did the same with 5s and many other leaderships driven initiatives. I saw the leadership as more of a group that is do as I say and not do as I do.
