Terrible place to work

Business outlook

Pros

Decent pay, full-time hours offered with overtime.

Cons

Management is unwilling to listen to employees, even when ideas are presented respectfully. Drives out hardworking employees by emphasizing out-dated tools, discouraging going "above and beyond" and generally exhibiting a bad attitude and disrespect towards employees. Some employees have been there more than 25 years, but this is only because it's been so long that they've been out of the job market and they're afraid to quit with families to look after.

They did offer me a job...

Business outlook

Pros

Pay was generally higher than what competing companies offered for similar roles, though compensation alone was not enough to address the broader issues with culture, management, and work-life balance.

Cons

This was one of the most unhealthy workplace cultures I have experienced. Employees were routinely micromanaged, denied the information needed to perform their jobs effectively, and held accountable for issues outside their control. Training was minimal, communication was inconsistent, and criticism often outweighed support. The culture rewarded loyalty to management over initiative and collaboration. Turnover, burnout, and frustration were recurring themes throughout my time there.
