Pros

- Receipt of a paycheck - Ability to work with a handful of genuinely good people

Cons

- Leadership encourages (almost guilts) team members into going online and leaving good reviews about the company in social media platforms - The ELT is totally detached from the pulse and true culture that is present at the site level - even after many employee engagement surveys, nothing gets done - Vision and strategic direction of the company is off base and subjective; actions taken as part of "1MPACT" are not data driven and truly value added nor sustainable - Communication of goals and performance of plan to actual is horrendous from the top down and from the bottom back up. This is because of poor management at the site and senior BU leadership level as the management style is executed by micromanagement and/or someone that has reached their point of incompetence (Peter Principle) - The organization as a whole does not follow its own Core Values, Ethics or examples of Morale with the biggest being a lack of accountability and integrity - Compensation for the true value add folks, those hourly direct laborers that work on site, kitting, assembling, testing, inspecting and shipping the products (and have through COVID) are simply not treated the same as their salaried counterparts. They are just another number in a head count and capacity plan

Pros

Great time off, schedule flexibility like 9/80, company shut down at end of year, caring coworkers, lots of resources, benefit add ons are great like pet insurance! They have a student loan company match program and tuition reimbursement. They seem to promote from within a lot too which is refreshing.

Cons

Spread out amongst lots of states East coast and West coast. Sometimes can make collaborating hard but the make it work well!
