Pros

Time off is generous but you’ll never...never be able to get it all approved

Cons

Mandatory OT now for over a year. This was after we had a 6 month break from doing the same mandatory for over a year the prior. Worst upper leadership I have seen. VPs come in and just suck the life out of lower management. Saw a VP literally yelling at floor managers in a morning meeting. Calls floor employees “you people” in town hall meetings. Once saw him absolutely wasted at a local town bar getting kicked out while in work clothes. Unbelievable.

Pros

Good people to work with at the contributor level

Cons

Horrible management. They hire or promote people that have no people skills, are punitive, and will blame when things go wrong instead of trying to solve problems. They feel that you working 50-60 hour weeks is normal. Management doesn’t listen and find their people as expendable. One manager compares people to boxes in a meeting to the people they were talking about. Work there for experience but don’t expect a real career or development.
