Pros

My co-workers are genuine and fun people who will help and support you. The company provides some good perks like bringing in food trucks on Fridays in the summer and selling subsidized sports tickets.

Cons

Management is severely lacking in direction and focus. Expect micromanaging daily. There is no steady work schedule. The stress level is very high. Workdays are exceedingly long, 50 hour weeks are normal. Some of my coworkers put in 60-70 hours some weeks.

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.
