Pros

POET is doing great things when you look at it from the outside and general public, however there are some things going on internally that made me really uncomfortable such as the religious approach the execs and some others are suddenly taking on and the HUGE amount of pressure to be "healthy" when we were told it is a choice, but yet many of our choices were forced upon us - not ok. Comparing POET to other organizations, it is very technologically advanced and has some of the best working for them - that's something to brag about.

Cons

This company spends money like it's going out of style. While it can afford to, I think it should be monitored a bit closer. Some of the head engineers and some other managers have egos the size of Texas and they are allowed to get away with treating all others like they are scum of the earth - again, not ok.

Pros

Can not think of many

Cons

It is sad to see the same old items being listed on this site. The former and present employees of Broin/Poet is what made this company what it is today. It is all about what is good for POET. It is time for the investors to really understand and investigate what the Poet Companies are taking profit out of these plants and continues to come up with more areas to charge more for their so called services.

Pros

The way it looks in your rear view mirror when you drive away, knowing you found a better job.

Cons

This is the most dishonest, lying, cheating and despicable company ever. I have never experienced such a negative environment. There are no opportunities for advancement. The turnover rate is similar to a fast food joint. The management is downright evil towards employees at times.
