TOXIC

Pros

Limited to none. Rank and File are good people trying to do a good job in a very toxic horrible work environment created by senior leadership on site and Korean based ownership.

Cons

Korean leadership that hates Americans and is non supportive, back stabbing. Very negative threatening environment. Factory worker mentality towards professional staff, cannot leave early,can't take early lunch to avoid crowds, can't work from home on occasion, etc despite working regular 9-10 hour days.

Pros

Not many. Salary is decent depending on who you report to.

Cons

Korean culture with no consideration to the fact that they reside in the US. NO flexibility whatsoever. Leadership team keeps everything secret and the company doesn't trust the employees. You have to be sitting at your desk from 8-5 or your "not" working. They won't allow remote work. You have a lunch hour and everyone is to take lunch at the same time. The company is very lean and you will wear around 10 different hats so be prepared to work long hours. As people leave, they just pile more work on the people that are left. Basically you are just a means to an end and they don't care about the "workers" at all.
