Pros

We have a great team that is willing to teach and will listen if there is a better way to do things. Management does a fantastic job of checking in without being overbearing and providing support if needed. I also appreciate the time off and other generous benefits we get and have been able to have more work / life balance in this job than any others.

Cons

We do not have a traditional yearly review. Not the worst thing, just different. No big negatives really.

Pros

Straight shift Company paid lunch once a week

Cons

No organization No training plan everyone does things differently so who you work with that day depends on how you do things makes it very hard to learn when everybody does it differently and you do what the last person tells you and the next person says your wrong so you stay in constant confusion. No current sop’s to see who is right. Every supervisor gives you a different answer.
