Pros

A few good employees and casual dress...

Cons

I have never left a negative review about anything in my life, but dear me, Unfortunately, the work standard at this company was simply very poor.... - Extremely heavy work load -Too much gossip/cut-throat strategy for promotion -Some managers have ZERO leadership skills -Work from home or flexibility is rare within the finance department. -Its a revolving door...the list keeps on going. Just two words...."Stay Away"

Pros

some of the people are amazing - note that I only wrote some

Cons

some of the people are nasty and try to put you down and make you feel like you're worthless. Management is horrible and doesn't know how to manage. They act pompous, pretend to care, and they think they know everything when they don't have a clue about what is taking place on the floor or how to manage. They never employ enough people to cover shifts and more than half the time people are overworked and are set up for failure because quality issues/deviations are more likely to arise. Management may seem friendly, but don't let their initial impression fool you. They will only promote those who kiss up to management. They could care less on your performance. HR is untrustworthy. Never go to them or talk to them. They will throw you under the bus and lie to your face. Don't trust anyone in management that is currently there - as of September 2016.
