Pros

Culture has improved drastically over 10 years. Management trusts their employees and generally adheres/actions complaints and concerns. Most departments are cordial with one another. Even the dynamic between the union workers and salaried is one of mutual respect and cooperation. Plenty of opportunities to move up in the organization if that’s your thing.

Cons

Pay increases, while annually consistent, are typically at/below inflation. You’re seldomly awarded for staying at one position for very long, which is common in this industry. Definitely have to jump around a bit to make progress salary-wise. Insurance is bottom-barrel. It’s insurance… just expect to pay a high monthly premium while also having to hit a high deductible threshold before insurance starts paying anything. No bonuses… ever.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
