Sadly terrible

Recommend

Pros

Bi-weekly pay and good benefits.

Cons

No one will heed advice given by those that do the job. It take years for issues to be addressed. In the meantime workers personally suffer the pain, mis-treatment and consequences of following the bad leadership decisions. This will include firings, being ignored, loss of common privileges, write-ups, spiteful lectures and overall fear. There will be no apology or acceptance of responsibilty for when leadership's mistakes have become obvious and corrected. You will be torn down until you submit even when tasks are impossible. Management too may be scared to lose face on decisions, therefore blaming regular workers rather than the faulty processes. Beware, sadly.
