Pros

learned about plumbing and how to handle stress and the typeof business i do not want to work in. i had a nice cubicle with very nice view of a wall that I was blessed to look at for 10 hours every day.

Cons

Nepotism, Have to be in old boy club, have to drink, no family/work balance unless your family works at location. Generally, the cutomsers are not very nice and really donot care about you. You have to be a kiss butt and give them your whole life. do not ask for a raise - it will not happen. smaller suppliers pay better.

Pros

None, I would say remote work but it’s very toxic.

Cons

Poor leadership (manager and director), poor communication, poor training, unrealistic m expectations, micromanagement, no SOPs, lack of structure, FLSA violations, no upfront disclosure of what role is, stingy management. People outside of HR are great. In HR? They’re happy to lay people off and talk about it so casually during meetings. Think “it’s our yearly layoffs” and joking about catching people “slipping”. No opportunities for growth despite saying there was during interviews. Interview and reality are worlds apart. No diversity. Severe control issues. No new people have been hired in over 3 years yet multiple people have left so people are burnout. One person handles all of one process alone and management thinks that’s ok. For reference the same process takes 10-11 associates in the same sized org. I can go on. Stay away!!!
