Pros

Good benefits and 401k match. Tuition reimbursement and laid back environment.

Cons

Favoritism is terrible here. It’s very hard to move up within the company unless you know someone in management or get along really well with one of the supervisors. I have worked here for 6 years and the only people to advance were the people who were either related to or knew someone in management. Therefore, it’s very hard to get a pay raise here. It’s also very noticeable to me and I’m sure a lot of others that the company also hires very few ethnically diverse people. They love whites! To sum it up perfectly the hard workers get zero recognition and the people who break the rules are catered to. All you have to do to make it in this company is get along well with the management. Go talk about sports to the supervisors!

Pros

Good pay and benefits for the work

Cons

Chances of moving up in company, and moving to dayshift positions, largely based on your relationship to upper management and HR (biased to friends and family). Pay and benefits are good but being on nights for so long affected me negatively over time. Emotionally damaging seeing people move up and to day shift because they were related to management. Didn't matter what their work ethic was or how long they had worked there. Some individuals never set foot on night shift.
