      Pros

      Very safety oriented and committed to quality.

      Cons

      Promotion within is difficult because of the "buddy" system. Many that are hired and/or promoted have no secondary education or experience. I know of a few workers with associates and bachelor's degrees that have tried to get positions, only to be passed over for a buddy of management.

      Pros

      Ability to work 100% remote.

      Cons

      ITAS OTC Manager has no clue how to manage, encourage development, or plan growth. He was too busy trying to keep his skills up and not actually cultivate newcomers and manage well. I felt alone and not supported by my manager. The environment is not great for newcomers to the company. The team supposedly has so much work, but was able to lay me off after returning to work from health event. Complete and utter joke. They do not honor their core values. Beware of this place.
