Pros

Laid back work environment - that's it.

Cons

Oppressive company culture. Uneducated employees/managers. Horrendous pay and commission structure. Zero training. Company expects the sales force to attend "training courses" several times a year from a Thursday through to a Saturday, without compensating them (financially or time off for giving up a Saturday). Very unprofessional work environment. Overall a bad company to work for. I would not recommend employment with Battery Systems.

Pros

Strict no overtime policy resulted in consistent work schedules and work life balance. Gained valuable skills and maintained inventory accuracy with the WMS. Developed strong attention to detail due to the high accuracy needed for the job.

Cons

Denied combined cost of living and performance increase based on a single day of lateness, resulting in a corrective action report. Company handbook specifies that any corrective action prevents receiving either increase. Disconnected corporate structure and poor communication from main office. Branch mostly left unsupervised but held to unclear standards without training. High turnover due to management unwilling to pay living wage, causing difficulty hiring and retaining staff, especially in higher cost areas. Company focus on short-term 'resilience training' shifts the burden of burnout to employees, rather than addressing systemic issues like unlivable wages and profit-driven management practices.
