Headed downhill quick

Pros

Relatively easy job without any degree needed.

Cons

As many other recent reviews point out overall the company is going downhill quickly. Management in each department has there own set of rules and not rules that are over all the company. Favoritism is all over the place. If you want a day off or a promotion all the matters is who likes you and who doesn't. They will hire in and say no working weekends how great the schedule is no overtime. Well once your hired in you will quickly know there has been mandatory overtime in certain departments for years now. The way things are heading is more about pushing the employees to there limit while gaining the most profit out of them. Hard work is rewarded less and less and moral across the board is falling. Human Resources is beginning to only protecting the company not the employees this was apparent through Covid19. Again if you looking at working here expect to work mandatory overtime and likely mandatory Sunday overtime.

Sadly becoming worse

Pros

Great benefits. 401k package and two profit sharing bonuses that are not evenly distributed unfortunately. Also a windfall bonus at the end of the year.

Cons

Company let’s each manager have their own rules in their departments without consequences. No set rules for entire company. The higher up people just assume the people that are below them are actually doing their jobs. Bullying and intimidation are allowed from other employees and managers also. It depends on who you know or who you are related to. There is also a great amount of nepotism that is so blatant. There is also a problem with some people that just do not want to work which will of course weigh others down. I wish they would become the company it used to be.
