Pros

Benefits great. People who work there are great and caring. The work and products matter. Pay is good.

Cons

Few leaders on site. Went without HR for years. Went without Plant Manager for long time. Slow to get things done due to lack of staffing. People are great but a culture of complaining. Culture has improved though and toxic people left. Feel like company has put shareholders in front of people.

Pros

The actual coworkers and team members are great. Everyone is super supportive and just trying to help each other out.

Cons

Management: There’s a huge disconnect between upper leadership and the people doing the day-to-day work. Goals and priorities change constantly with very little communication, and it often feels like micromanagement takes the place of actual guidance. Work-Life Balance: The workload is completely unsustainable. You’re expected to handle an overwhelming amount of work, but you aren't given the resources or staffing to actually get it done without burning out. Expecting people to constantly work over their hours has become the norm. Lack of Growth: Career progression is pretty much non-existent. Promises of promotions or career development are thrown around, but they rarely actually happen. There’s no clear pathway to move up, so it’s easy to feel stuck and stagnant.
