GREAT.....but also HELL

Pros

Consistent hours, lots of overtime opportunities, good pay, good benefits, great sick leave

Cons

The company does not understand work/life balance. Right now I am working 2 weeks straight with 1 day off. Some people don't mind but it does get to be a lot, especially around holidays. Plan on not seeing your kids or family a lot because you will LIVE there. Management and "team" environment is OK but mediocre and subpar. Management often times is more so just a title and non existent. The term "team" loses its claimed value at the company once you leave orientation. DO NOT COUNT ON ANYTHING THEY TELL YOU! They love to pull the rug from under you a lot so please take everything lightly and don't expect to get everything that they tell you. They promote the people that are the WORST examples.... people that you would probably use as an example of what not to be... this isn't true for all but definitely for most.

Toxic Culture

Pros

The R1T and R1S are top rated vehicles.

Cons

My manager was an inexperienced leader. His manager was inexperienced. Both were always living in fear which impacted my team dynamics. Not the culture I joined. HR team spent too much timing covering for mistakes and did not support (or believe) the team. Most of us have lost faith in this company and the ‘leaders’ (who have no respect for each other). New recruits hired if they are ‘yes-men’ and will keep their heads down. It’s not about finding good talent or first principles thinking.

Challenging, not in a good way.

Pros

Company is Mission Driven || Cool Products

Cons

Was never clear exactly what my responsibilities were and what authority I had || Super unclear who made what decisions, resulting in a challenging environment to make any progress || A lot of strong, unpleasant personalities, in a very unsupportive environment || Company had delusional (unachievable) product and growth ambitions, resulting in an environment of overpromising and underdelivering This was the worst place I've ever worked in my 25 year career.
