Great company with typical corporate issues

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

The corporate culture and fellow employees are fantastic. Company really does try to do good for the world and it’s employees. Only company I have ever worked for that made me want to come to work every day because I truly enjoyed my job. Benefits are slightly better then most but probably could be way worse considering the cost of insurance nowadays. Not a lot of political BS going around.

Cons

Management is slow to adopt more common practices such as working from home or dress code changes. Pay could be better but not too far out of line for our region. Employees at the plant locations are more subject to market fluctuations then corporate employees are. This leads to lay offs on bad years.

Pros

POET has been a great place to grow in my career. Lots of very talented people working here working towards an exciting mission to make the world a better place with renewable energy. Great pay, benefits and culture too - on-site fitness facility, healthy market, annual bean-bag tournament, family picnic, etc.

Cons

A little traditional at times, coming around to things like working from home

Pros

Salary for rural community is good.

Cons

Does not care about talent, plays favorites. Employees can be laid off for no reason based on profits. Turnover is horrible. Company is not up to speed with competition on technology or salaries.
