Pros

The Beck Family is great to work for I have never worked at a place where everybody is so focused on the same mission. It's great Pay raises can be generous, but are starting to below average Get to work with new equipment "Free" lunches at corporate office

Cons

Poor Performers are not held accountable for there actions starting pay is on the low side even with experience Don't bring a complaint to HR because they won't do anything about it You work long hours in Production and Processing No work life balance Hard to get time off outside of Dec through end of March, even when you put in year advance No opportunity for advancement in Production. Production management won't approve a transfer or give you a reason why Production performance reviews are a joke, generic feedback. I have got the same feedback for 3 years and the followup for questions is terrible and is always late, if they follow up No career path or career development Production is all about speed not quality and safety Safety can be questionable sometimes in production You can be asked to do some questionable ethical things sometimes Good ol boy network, I have never seen a Senior Manager held accountable in 10+ years

Pros

It's impossible to get fired If you know the families you have a place for life

Cons

Technology department is a disaster Women aren't respected (they even have an ongoing harrassment case against them) Those who have been employed awhile hook arms and refuse any changes No work life balance New leadership came in at the beginning of the year and reactive attitudes made the culture even more toxic I left before it got worse; Good luck to those that stayed. No opportunity for growth
