Pros

Good retirement program. Not so good medical benefits

Cons

The company has talented employees and strong potential, but one of the biggest concerns is that HR appears to operate more as an extension of senior management rather than as an independent resource for employees. Concerns and complaints are frequently raised, yet employees rarely see meaningful action or follow-up. This creates a perception that issues are acknowledged but not addressed, which can impact trust, morale, and overall workplace culture. Greater transparency, accountability, and employee advocacy from HR would significantly improve the work environment.
