Pros

Excellent work life balance Generally nice people through out the organization Comprehensive Benifits - 401k match, dental,health, tuition reimbursement

Cons

- For those who are career oriented and trying to quickly move up this is not the place to work. There are limited opportunities for advancement. - It is nearly impossible to develop new ideas into programs, products or services from the bottom up. Everything requires large project teams and sign offs from multiple departments with conflicting political interests. The only way anything moves forward is if SVP or CEO forces it through. - Pay is well below industry average for all salaried positions

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
