Pros

Their pay and benefits are top notch. They also do a good job organizing events to award their employees (most they don't deserve) for their hard work. The only reason I increased their rating to two stars.

Cons

I hope the title of my review encouraged you to read on because it might prevent you from making a horrible mistake. Now I don't know about the company itself but if you're looking for a place to grow and or work long-term, avoid working at the facility in Forest Park. They're highly unstructured and there is little to no communication between management. Just to give you an idea of how unstructured they are, on my first day of work nobody knew who I was or what I was supposed to be doing there. It's that bad. It didn't get better either, it stayed that way until I stopped working there -- which was after about six months or so. Also, if for some reason you don't adhere to my warning just know that it isn't uncommon to get hired for a position just to be placed in another position once you actually start working. Even if you do start the job that you got hired to do be ready for a change they may make to your job and your schedule at a moments notice. Best to believe that there are more cons but this will give you an idea of what it is you're getting yourself into if you're considering working for them or if you got an offer. I implore you to only work here if you're looking to work somewhere short-term. If not then please do yourself a favor and look somewhere else.

Pros

Meaningful work with friendly team members, a healthy work–life balance, and leadership that actively works to improve issues. While change doesn’t happen overnight, there is consistent effort behind the scenes. The company also prioritizes internal growth and advancement, supported by its continued expansion. There are annual raises, a chance for bonus', great benefits (insurance, PTO, 401K, etc)

Cons

Workload can vary significantly at times, and organizational changes don’t always produce immediate results. Raises are conducted once per year, so promotions occurring outside the raise cycle require waiting until the following year for a pay increase.

Pros

Money and knowing you have a job, is the only pro.

Cons

They train you in one area of operations, trainer was never anywhere to be found during the time of training. The maintenance department is terrible due to how management would hire for personality, the lack of real management and zero communication and there was no accountability for bad operators/ bad maintenance people who would harm or neglect their equipment, or neglect their assignments. No one here pushes people to work harder they just put hardworkers to work with the laggers making the person who already have been doing a decent job work harder for two people which made no one want to try or excell-- making every daily process that much more difficult. Even in upper management everyone has a "just get it done" attitude where they take the easy routes instead of fixing the intitial topics that they know are the problems, and then when they follow-up, management comes down on the whole staff when the results are under-performing. When its literally a small area of improvement to be made which would have helped in the long-runs.
