Pros

There are no pros anymore they work us like dogs in the name of saving the planet. We have to push insane numbers daily. Extremely taxing on the body. It’s a con. They nor HR care about the employees. It’s about getting out the door as fast as we can.

Cons

They took our massage benefit we’ve had for years. No tuition reimbursement took the week between Xmas and new years. They took a lot from us the employees but they gave 214 million to their environmental groups they support. They say and talk about it being us they could not do it without us but now they work us crazy for little wages and now little benes all we get is medical we earn our pto and sick time. They burn us out then now on a mission to clean house. Get rid of people. More people have lost their job in 2025 then I’ve ever seen
