Pros

It's a job, but prepare to go to war with management and their brown nosers if you start here... Unless you're willing to be as shady as they are.

Cons

The company headquarters in Manitowoc, WI is at an ever increasing 5000% goal for: (Politics, drama, backstabbing, no teamwork, incompetent management that lurks but doesn't work) No sick leave, PTO accumulated at ~14 days earned per year, which also doubles as your sick leave. Benefit costs are probably 2-3x what you have paid before in any other job. You are written up, suspended, terminated after missing/partially missing >6 days in a rolling year. Being four mins late, leaving 4 mins early, or not completing your shift for any reason, counts as missed days. Your shift will be dismissed up to 2 weeks accumulatively each winter with no pay, unless you want to use your PTO... If you have any left. The Manitowoc headquarters is full of self serving management and brown nosers, and if you're not one of them, you're a target. You cannot be yourself openly, because everything you say and do is being watched and documented, to use against you.

Cons

Run. I relocated for this position expecting a long-term career and resigned within weeks because of my experience. During the short time I worked there, I was not the first person to leave, and other employees were already exploring opportunities elsewhere while recruiters were actively trying to hire more histotechnicians. The organization appears willing to spend significant money on recruiting and sign-on bonuses, but in my experience it does not address the reasons employees leave. A sign-on bonus does not fix poor management or communication. It simply creates a financial penalty for employees who ultimately decide they cannot stay. Simple solutions that could have improved retention were dismissed. I requested a minor schedule adjustment that would have allowed me to use public transportation while working the same number of hours. I was told everyone on the shift had to start and end at the same time, yet another night shift employee had a different start time. I was also discouraged from using the automated functions of equipment that I had prior experience using and that other employees used. Explanations for decisions often did not match what I observed in practice, and I felt that my training and professional judgment were not respected despite being hired as an experienced technician. Most telling to me was what happened after I resigned. I emailed HR the night I quit explaining my concerns, and no one contacted me to ask what happened or why I was leaving. If the company truly wants to understand why employees keep leaving, it should start by listening to the people who do. Based on my experience, I would advise anyone considering a position there to think carefully before accepting an offer.
