Pros

Good pay and minute bonus

Cons

Worst HR ever You are juste a number. Press the lemon and trow it away when dry. You are told "you should be honored to have a job!" No consideration whatsoever for employee well being when it comes to work environnement. You are fed nice words and catchy phrases but nothing materialize. Did I mention worst HR I've ever seen.

Pros

Used to be a good place to work, used to! My advice is to stay away, the future seems bleek

Cons

- Terrible work/life balance - a real lack of structured work flow and processes - a culture of just "figure out how to get it done" - Opportunities for advancement are blocked - Very few female employees in leadership roles - They preach "the value employees" that's only lip service, company actions are contrary - If you use the healthcare offered and your spouse is covered you pay a surcharge. As if to say we value you and offer you insurance but if you use it , Oh well then you must pay an additional surcharge. - HR department is a mess - no meanigful training for employees, only obligatory quizes to cover the company - workload is heavy and people just fight fires, no real planning ahead - many reductions in force (RIF's) over the last three years - Good ole boys club

Pros

No one is watching, so you pretty much do what you want. No rule enforcement, no accountability, no problem being your own boss.

Cons

See the Pros. While it may seem fun, not holding people accountable makes life difficult for those of us trying to do the right thing. If given a choice, choose the new building. New management at the RMC has no clue what they are doing. Mgr. hides in his office when not walking around cussing out employees. Operation Milsap is a joke. Also have to watch for the 750 lb man come down from HQ, he likes to throw his weight around (ouch) when he's not stuffing food down his throat. Sound like sour apples? It is, been here 15 years and I'm watching the place go to hell quickly. Oh yeah, kiss your private life good bye, we've pretty much been working OT every day & weekend. No more give-aways, minimal raises and lack of appreciation.
