Pros

We were given sufficient freedom to try new ideas. They are willing to throw money at new projects. Lots of very bright, dedicated people who work hard and go unrecognized. Innovation is valued.

Cons

Salaries were way below market norm in this facility (Temecula), especially since so many commute from San Diego. Management is blissfully unaware of the effect of their decisions on those they manage. Not enough admin support--upper level folks spend a LOT of time on admin details in all areas of the company. Moral is LOW! Lots of unhappy people.

Pros

Some managers were exceptional mentors and played a significant role in my professional growth. Good benefits and a reasonable severance package during workforce reductions. Opportunities to work on large-scale marketing initiatives and collaborate with experience professionals across the organization and globe.

Cons

Advancement opportunities often felt inconsistent and lacked any transparency. Leadership frequently emphasized data-driven decision making, but business decisions did not always appear to align with the metrics being presented. The company appeared hesitant to embrace emerging technologies and AI-driven approaches, limiting innovation in multiple areas. Job security is uncertain, and organizational changes occur frequently with little warning. Management quality varied significantly, While some leaders were outstanding, others struggled with communication, strategic direction, and people management. Career growth seemed to depend heavily on organizational politics and alignment with leadership rather than solely on measurable performance.
