Pros

They are supposed to hire on (or let go) operators after three months. They are typically fair with the operators, as long as they do what they are supposed to do and show up when they say they will.

Cons

They encourage the good old boy network. If you have been there a while, you will probably stay there a while. They have closed some facilities internationally, and brought people in from the failing sites. This means that they brought in the failing ideas and are now using them to run the site. They like to lay people off right before the holidays to get the numbers down.

Pros

Work–life balance is actually respected. Most managers honor boundaries, don’t expect late-night firefighting as the norm, and are fine with you taking time off when you need it. Solid parental leave. The parental leave policy is extremely generous compared to a lot of places in the industry, and leadership is generally supportive of people actually using it. Interesting, challenging work. Plenty of chances to solve real problems, not just busywork. If you’re proactive, you can own projects and grow your skill set. Good benefits package. Healthcare, 401(k), and time off are competitive, and HR does a decent job of making the options clear. Smart coworkers who care. A lot of sharp people who genuinely want to do the right thing for customers and the business, which makes collaboration worthwhile when it works.

Cons

Communication needs improvement. Priorities and decisions don’t always flow clearly from leadership to the teams doing the work, which leads to confusion and rework. Too many silos. Teams tend to operate in their own lane, and cross-functional collaboration can be painful. Information gets stuck instead of shared.
