Horrible culture

Senior credit analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Decent 401k plan, parking is free

Cons

The culture here is horrible, unless you like micromanagement. The culture is prison like, my coworker and I were told we were not allowed to speak to anyone during the day, not even so much as a hello. Every email we sent had to have our manager copied on it. In the accounting/finance department more than 50% of the employees have left in the past year because of the horrible management

Small town gig

Process engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Good team in Operations, Good people in general, SCADA software, Advanced in terms of software usage, Safety

Cons

Remote location, Apartment vacancy, Union shop, Clicky work environment, Not much diversity in town, Business viability, Low pay vs high cost of living. First week there, I noticed multiple KKK signs on the premises. Management was quick to paint them over after I reported it but that set the tone as a visible minority. Later on, there has been multiple examples of comments/actions with racial undertones.
