Cons

Lack of training, carrot-and-stick management, micromanagement. Too much overtime, no appreciation. Management treats employees like robots.

This company is focused on one thing and that is personal sacrifice and does nothing for it's people.

Supervisor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Free lunch which is not that good either. The food is usually cold and high in carbs which does nothing for people trying to be healthy. They also have the same thing for 3 to 4 days in a row.

Cons

Management does not care, long hours, no caring for the people who work there, do unethical things like falsifying records (personal experience with this). They continually ask for more and more and do not care about what it takes to do it. Nothing is good enough and there is never any praise for what you do right. Working 12 to 15 hour days is a regular thing.

Disappointed

Ops supervisor

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Fast paced environment that makes the work day go by quickly. Opportunities for advancement as long as you are the right person. Willing to hire just about anyone for hourly positions. Travel

Cons

Extremely long hours. Very stressful. Regularly expected to stay for OT due to being short staffed.. The company talks a big game about safety and how they care about their employees but only if it doesn't cost them too much. Pay is questionable for the amount of work and stress that comes with working here.
