Pros

The pros are since management is clueless you have more freedom to take control of your own career. You will never be without work to do

Cons

Management does not know why people are leaving as such all the problems do not get fixed. Management stays pretty steady but all lower positions seem to be a revolving door of people. The benefits are subpar but they will lie and say they are competitive to the industry (maybe if you compare to markets other than the EU and the US). Usually you will have to do more work than you were expecting leading to long days, the average person usually works 45+ hours a week. The promotions only exist if you have the time, does not matter what you know if you don't have the required years you will not be promoted but you will be given more responsibilities. Raises are basically just keeping your pay in par with the rate of inflation.

Pros

The team is incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and supportive, which has made it easy to learn and feel comfortable asking questions. There is a strong focus on training and collaboration, helping me feel safe, well prepared, and confident in my role. I also appreciate the benefits, which support a good work-life balance.

Cons

One area for improvement is the flexibility for new employees regarding remote work hours.

Pros

Adequate amount of PTO and suitable medical benefits and 401K. Co-workers were helpful and good resources when needed.

Cons

Difficult to receive promotions, as site GM, HR, and Global have to approve. No/very small annual increases. Departments need to hire additional support; again, difficult to get management and global to approve, thus a lot of turnover. Site directors/managers had conflicts between departments. Some would intentionally undermine other department heads if it suited their interest. Two directors have personal relationship, which seems to be conflict of interest.
