Pros

They pay pretty well. Lots of PTO days.

Cons

Management is completely lost. The departments do not work or communicate, which causes a ton of confusion and a lack of information to make its way to those on the phones. Management has a tendency to pick out favorites and push them for promotions. They will also single out others and try to drive them out of the company by creating an incredibly awkward and uneasy setting.

Pros

Vacation time, flexible schedule, good pay, good work life balance

Cons

Constant changes and red tape to do any physical work anymore. Made safety procedures way more confusing and complicated than needed. Paperwork and forms are a constant growing addition every few months and makes doing simple jobs a thing of the past and deter employees from being more productive. No accountability with attendance and being on time, which is unfair to others who don't abuse the system.
