Pros

Diverse office environment due to heavy French influence. $15 for lunch 3 days a week. Good 401K matching (6%)

Cons

- In January 2025, the company underwent a significant workforce reduction. The situation continues to evolve, with sporadic, unannounced layoffs still occurring. - Recent changes in the upper echelons of the IT department have raised concerns. Many of the new leaders appear to have been appointed based on personal connections rather than industry experience. Furthermore, these individuals seem to prefer surrounding themselves with agreeable subordinates rather than fostering a culture of constructive criticism and open dialogue. - There's a noticeable trend towards outsourcing IT roles, which is a significant shift in the company's operational strategy. - New management has a 'throw people at problems' type of mentality.

Pros

Pay and overtime is great in california. Time off give was 3 weeks starting which was nice. The schedule allowed for a lot of time off.

Cons

They didn't run enough crews to help lighten the load. The management was always in shambles because no one knew what actually needed to get done. The Control Center was always treated like they weren't part of the company. They would make separate rules for the control center that didn't apply to the rest of the company. They moved their office to Minnesota from San Diego. They don't have a healthy rotation for the night to day shift. It's too short and your body takes a heavy toll switching from nights to days ever other week. There weren't very many growth opportunities. It was OP1, OP2, and Supervisor. That's as far as you could go.
