Great Company to work for, but still room to improve!

Pros

Great people, good work environment. Fun, most of the time. I believe the management team is starting to improve, time will tell what their success is. Flexibility. Benefits are top notch. Opportunity to grow is huge!

Cons

Work life balance - it's said that this is on each individual themselves, but based on the compensation structure, anyone that is driven will burn themselves out. Compensation is definitely not in line with the industry in the USA.

Pros

The overtime you get is amazing. I was able to get paid very well with how their pay structure was.

Cons

Everyone talks behind each others backs. If you ask a question to anyone they will help you, but then talk bad about you to other colleagues. It was an awful atmosphere there. They are not out to help you, but more out to destroy you. They will put a smile on their face and act like they are your friend, but then stab you in the back.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are saddened to hear this was or is your experience (your comment states you're both a current and a former employee). This being the first time we've heard of such employee treatment at this location, we hope our employee engagement survey sent out this week will help us uncover opportunity.
