Pros

In general, co-workers were good hearted, creative and fun people to be around. Facility has a great view of the Colorado front range. Company develops and manufactures products that make peoples lives better.

Cons

Many mid-level managers are so obsessed with climbing the corporate ladder and creating personal empires that they routinely throw dedicated and talented employees under the bus. Many mangers seem to show little consideration for the company's best interest and the greater good of the workers under their command in order to ensure a path for quicker personal advancement. A workplace where managers and supervisors employ a culture of job insecurity and actively encourages distrust between the workers to cement control over the workers who report to them. Upper management seems to frequently turn a blind eye to these practices and sometimes appears to encourage it. Final quality of some products and services were sometimes an issue.

Pros

Decent pay, good hours, fairly simple tasks, some hybrid flexibility.

Cons

Constant micromanaging of performance and KPIs. Performance is posted to the entire department with each error highlighted, be it minor or major. I was actively discourage from asking for help, or questions if I was unsure about an aspect of the job. Myself and my cohort were also actively discouraged from speaking or communicating with one another. This bred more competition and animosity between some employees in tandem with the constant focus on KPIs and comparing scores. Contract-to-hire was on a case-by-case basis and was said to be performance based as well as seniority based. This didn't always track as managers would be inclined to favoritism and certain employees would get fast-tracked or left behind their initial hire groups without explanation. Terrible first responder system for medical emergencies and education to employees on how to handle it (which occurred frequently).
