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.

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!
