Toxic executives, extreme nonsense micromanagement. Its a great job to make some money for a short period of time. If you get ill due to overwork or chemicals exposure, they act like they help you, but in reality they don't care! They fire you in less than a minute and hire someone else fresh and free of pain willing and able to smile for the first 2 weeks, and then stop smiling when they start feeling like robots until their bodies are about to shutdown. Workers compensation is never approved and they take your days from your PTO if you call out due to job related body aches. They require to wear protective equipment but the chemicals are exposed in giant tanks, and you can smell the metals and chemicals as soon as you open the front door of the building. If you're looking for a long term stable job, that's not the right place for you.

I really wanted to like this company, but there are structural issues. The management is disorganized. The company acts like a start-up and is very scrappy, yet has been in business a decade. Everything appears very organized, but that is only because 2-3 people have all the responsibility, and they protectively guard that power. If something goes wrong, or not as planned, it is absolute chaos, yet could have been prevented had more people been brought into the loop prior. I don't want to use the term favoritism, because it isn't that per se, but there is an elitist-feeling hierarchy. There is no autonomy, everything/one is micromanaged and you will never know the reasons why you are asked/tasked to do something, often with little context or notice. The ones who run the company keep their cards held close and you are only informed of decisions that impact you after they have been made, without your input. Feedback is not appreciated. You either do it their way, or you can see yourself to the door. There is a level of near-deadly seriousness about how things are done.
