Pros

The people that work there really care, despite the incompetence of Sr. management. The one thing that is keeping the company going, is that the employees really care, we care about our customers, and we care enough to be successful--despite the shortfalls of senior management.

Cons

Poor planning, lack of communication, constant fire drills - do to poor planning by sr. leadership, challenging work/life balance. Sr. Leaders could make life so much easier if they would stop with the fire drills. Due to thier poor planning, mid-level managers and below are forced to stop doing our jobs to fix issues, then struggle to get caught up on our usual work load. Sometimes it feels as though sr. managent sits back and pulls the trigger then relishes in the fact that subordinates scramble to accomodate their whims, and most times, inadequecies.

Pros

- Good benefits - Easy training - They strive to understand how to get someone to their fullest potential

Cons

- No concrete track for promotion, to the point that it seemed impossible - They will not listen to their workers - Management on-site and higher up are very lazy - They will expect you to do the work that they schedule, even if it is impossible to complete - From the perspective of my role in quality control, it seemed impossible to make management, and also production in general, understand the time it takes for certain procedures and tests to be completed and reviewed. - Our entire site is getting shut down, and they are just now ramping up production to meet quotas and schedules. While, at the same time, keeping our severance estimations as vague as possible. - Low to no incentivization for anything
