Pros

Job is relatively easy. Non Management crew is full of great people. Generally a good environment if you don't have any issues or care about pay. Rotating 3-4 day 12 hour shifts provides a lot of free time to have a life outside of work.

Cons

Management will stop you from getting promotions if they don't want to be burdened with having to hire for your position. Compensation is really low for the area. HR will never be of any help to the employees. There is no covid leave, you will have to cover you time off with your own sick time and PTO.

Pros

- The company itself is doing well financially, allowing departments to take on bigger projects - Great work-life balance culture and unlimited PTO that actually allows for generate usage - Casual culture that encourages collaboration - Non-salary benefits are strong, with even lower-level employees benefiting from the stock purchase plan

Cons

- Despite its strong position, the company does trim headcount for the sake of efficiency - Work ethic seems complacent, but is offset by company's strong financial standing - Management can be cut-throat, but strong performers usually do well - Salaries are below market rate
