Pros

Benefits, people 9/80 schedule 6 percent match 401k. Tuition reimbursement.

Cons

There's no room for growth. Turn over rate is high.Rather higher outsider than promote from within. First company I've worked at without a definitive company culture (there's none). Training opportunities are only for the favorite. Management only concern is their careers. Micro managers are consistent with treating us like children. Goals for the year are always late. We're not sure what we are being judged on Once your a favourite you'll get a higher annual raise even if you're leaving the company and managers are aware

Pros

* Decent hourly pay (for now) * Decent time off policy * Some great co-workers * Decent Quarterly Bonus for Hourly workers * Nice Health Insurance options with ways to reduce weekly deductions * Life insurance Policy (bare minimum but has one) * Occasional overtime work

Cons

* With current cost of living crisis. The current hourly wage may not be enough in the next couple of years * Progressive company * Hard to move up in company, more external hiring over internal * Dysfunctional leadership for the building I worked at * Possible gender bias, noticeable increase of women moving up the company * Building I worked at is known for high turnover. Because of it, burnout occurs because of mandatory 6 - 7 (8 hours) day work weeks. * A lot of finger pointing/blaming others when something goes wrong
