Pros

When I came to Poet it was for the reason to feel like I made a difference with decisions that could be made and acted upon. Feeling like an owner of the business while just an employee gives me great satisfaction. The team members around me challenge and encourage me to be the best and pick me up when I'm down; that creates a great atmosphere for job satisfaction and job growth.

Cons

Before becoming one company under one umbrella, it could be challenging to keep the different business units together in purpose.

Pros

If you’re someone who takes a high interest in continuous learning, it is a great job. There is no same day-to-day work schedule, it keeps the job from getting boring. Even though bonuses are not a guarantee, it’s still a nice little extra to have at times.

Cons

There is no solid outline for training due to different styles of teaching, and different techniques for ‘running’ the plant. Some individuals have one set way, as to where the next might do it differently. I feel like your learning type, and who is training you can have a huge impact on how quickly you catch on to things.
