Pros

They pay you. It's a job. You will constantly meet new people.

Cons

Company pays below market. Management moves like a revolving door. Training doesn't exist. They preach safety as a buzz word but only practice it when they want an excuse to fire people. Shop conditions are equal to that of a sweat shop. Management mocks and insults employees behind their backs about things like: work ethic, sexual orientation, weight and life style choices. The only way to push "leadership" into doing anything is by calling OSHA. They boast about doing quarterly reviews but barely manage to complete yearly reviews. Constantly "restructuring." "Leadership" will pass the buck to the workers when it comes to failure to meet goals and deadlines. Very poor communication from management. No direction given. Dirty work environment. Encourage you to come to work when sick. Fails to adapt to modern times. Encourages you to come to work sick. You don't have a voice. Management will steal your ideas and give you little or no recognition for them, Employee of the month/quarter program is a joke and has often been awarded to people in management roles. Fails to follow corporate initiatives. Boasts about promoting from within but constantly hires from the outside. Fails to even post opportunities to current employees first and if you do manage to hear about a new position you are often stonewalled from being promoted. Diversity and Inclusion doesn't exist.

Pros

I interviewed with OBE before and my Gut-Instinct gave me bad vibes about how the company resources achieved their interviews with particular future employees. So, honestly I don't have any Pros to provide.

Cons

I was contacted by an OBE recruiter last week to setup an interview for a position. A week passed by and I prepared for this interview because it was a great role. I was contacted by the OBE recruiter and they stated that they are moving forward with an internal candidate. That is not fair because I was fully qualified for that role and fully prepared for this role for a week, and to receive a response like that was VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! And VERY BAD COMMUNICATION within the resources at OBE in making this situation occur.
