Pros

Benefits are great. Pay is ok. Some coworkwrs are good to work with. Very safety orientated.

Cons

Very tough to learn job. Lack of training. Not very many experianced coworkers to help teach new guys about the equipment being worked on. Very dark, dirty, and loud place to work in. Management is buddy buddy right away but turn their back on ya after a month. Come work here for a week and you will see why there is a huge turnover for this place.

Best environment I have ever worked in, you can tell that Poet cares about its employees, I enjoyed going to work.

Cons

You need to be able to pick up on things quickly, the job involves a lot of going with the flow and figuring things out.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. At POET, we are committed to maintaining a professional workplace where team members are treated with respect and where clear expectations, accountability, and confidentiality are core standards across our operations. We also want to clarify that team member compensation and personnel records are maintained within secure electronic HR systems rather than physical documents, and access to that information is strictly restricted in accordance with company policy. The situation described does not align with the processes we have in place to protect confidential information. Individual experiences can vary, and we encourage team members to raise questions or concerns through the appropriate internal channels so they can be reviewed and addressed in a timely and constructive way. Our focus remains on supporting a collaborative, purpose-driven environment where team members can contribute, grow, and succeed. — POET
