Pros

Salary, food, lunch and learns are great perks. Facilities are beautiful. No out-sourcing.

Cons

Management is too focused on themselves and their fellow managers and directors. Promotions are exclusive to certain groups and mostly at the manager level. I feel like I’m always having to keep track of how many hours I work since we have to work a minimum number of hours while loosing time when we use PTO. I have never worked anywhere where you get penalized for taking PTO! As others have mentioned, the micromanaging is way out of control. All the directors sit in their offices and never bother to interact with their subordinates. To make matters worse, directors disparage subordinates and treat them with disdain. They setup most of their employees for failure. Holidays and PTO are a joke. 8 holidays is pathetically low. They also don’t value employees safety, since last winter they expected every one to go to the office when the temperature was -20 below zero. There is absolutely no work/life balance, here. Job growth and opportunities are very limited. You are NOT rewarded for hard work! In fact, it is expected and are not recognized when you do a good job.

We’re disappointed to hear that you don’t feel you are experiencing a healthy work/life balance. While we don’t shy away from our high standards to meet our growing demand and customer’s needs, we take pride in providing various professional development opportunities to help our management and employee teams thrive together. One of the things we truly appreciate is when our employees double down and work together until they get the job done, and it’s an expectation that we certainly try to set with employees at all levels. It’s this kind of hard work and dedication that has taken this small family business and grown it into a global company. As a current employee, you have access to many resources through the employee intranet. We understand your frustration and recommend you utilize our employee assistance programs to your advantage. We have these resources so our employees can express themselves freely with issues like the ones you have expressed. Thanks again for sharing your insight.
