Pros

Great colleagues, deliveries can be made for lunch instead of cafeteria.

Cons

Getting our 2019 Performance Measure in June 2019 is simply not right. We've already worked half the year. Too many people are giving direction and unfortunately not one is the same. So many misdirects . Why make improvements for the sake of changing the name of the same task so that so and so is promoted ? Or better yet- why make an "improvement" from an old process ? Sadly, know when working here non direction , passiveness, no decision is the way of life.

Pros

The benefits package is strong and competitive, which adds a lot of overall value. There are many internal departments and career paths, making it relatively easy to explore new roles and grow within the company. On-site cafeteria is a convenient and appreciated perk. Many colleagues are highly experienced and have been with the company and industry for years, making them great resources for learning and mentorship.

Cons

Promotion policies can be limiting—there seems to be an informal rule that prevents employees from being promoted more than once in a year, even for high performers. Salary could be more competitive compared to market rates. Equipment and internal systems feel outdated and could benefit from modernization to improve efficiency.
