I loved working there at first, even in the heat, it was a decent place to work.
Cons
The owner sold out to a private equity company a few years after I started, and they tried to squeeze the employees to make a profit, but it only hurt their employees' trust in management.
After working here for many years, I appreciate that Step2 prioritizes career growth and promotes from within. I've been fortunate to advance my career with a company that values work life balance and employee culture. The leadership team is committed to the growth of this company and has a clear vision for continued success.
