This list of cons far outweighs the pros here. Top management is too focused on getting 65" TVs in their big offices instead of being involved with the workload or stress levels of their employees.
The company was purchased by a private equity firm a few years ago and it's been a slow slide down ever since. So long as the ledger is in the black, the company is great, right? Meanwhile, the rest of the staff is drowning in work, stressed beyond belief, and continuously receives poor culture survey results because, well let's face it, how do you build a happy work culture here when you hate coming into work every day? Giving employees a casual dress code is the best that management can come up with? Or is it because it doesn't cost the company any money to do so, but still makes you “competitive in the marketplace”?
Poor pay seems to be a common thing I hear from others (not to mention a bonus policy that "exists" but only if you're someone who is high ranking enough to qualify for it), and everyone is starting to just not care. I can't say I blame them. When people who have been here for 10+ years are leaving the company en masse, it's a warning sign.
Poor communication from management is a constant theme here, with surprise projects and insanely short deadlines, not to mention sky-high expectations to go along with them. No training when our job duties are changing (you must train on your own time and dime!) and the standards for each plant varies wildly. It's a miracle this place even functions sometimes.
