Pros

I have worked at POET for more than 8 years and really like it. I love being a part of making the world a better place by creating more renewable energy. Benefits and pay are good and they've started putting in place a really great wellness program that includes nutrition advice and gyms at the different locations. It's a fast-paced work environment and the people are really great!

Cons

When I first started, it wasn't as good of an environment in the work / life balance area, but it's so much better now.

Pros

The pay is great at all locations and I, like my co-workers, am satisfied and proud with the work I do. The work can be challenging but if I wanted an easy job I'd work at McDonalds. Benefits are top notch and the opportunity for growth in most areas is excellent.

Cons

The culture was a little dry when I started but it has improved drastically. Some of the older negative reviews on here no longer reflect the company I work for today.

Pros

Good pay And great benifits

Cons

i work a 12 hour shift and I am so sick of managers or supervisor coming in doing half there work and than leaving mid shift becuase of comp time I didn't know if a supervisor worked 2 extra hours a day they are suppose to take off 4 hours the next day there is only one supervisor that actually doesn't do this he answers his phone calls when we need help and goes on his computer to assist us all the time if need be. He might have a few issues but he is at least attempting to be a supervisor he should be a manager he is great.
