Pros

Good place to work. If you show initiative, you can make it worth your while. Many ways to transition into new roles such as lead, inspection and etc. I give the union (AMFA) 5 stars. You actually feel that they have your back and are very transparent about everything. You vote on everything.

Cons

Might be stuck on grave yard shift for a while. Co-workers can be pretty negative and spread toxicity in the work environment. All work locations are in high cost of living areas and are primarily west coast besides NYC.

Pros

Good work environment and culture. Leadership is strong.

Cons

Terrible compensation practice. Outdated approach, especially with corporate back office roles. Leaders have zero say in salaries. The compensation team has an outdated approach to pay and are not open to stay with the current market trends and challenging to partner with. There needs to be a willingness to change and align with the local job market. There needs to be an openness to listen to leaders' input. Its hard to hire and hard to attract retain good employees when we are competing with local employers in the Seattle area that offer better pay. It is very challenging to work with a compensation leader and team that do not listen.
