Pros

No pros at all. Wouldn't tell my worst enemy to get a job with this company

Cons

Management is no help. Coworkers dont want to help one another. This leads to poor communication and bad work environment. Place gives such bad anxiety. Nothing is good enough for local management. Local management are puppets who say one thing but when told by China to do something else they cave instantly.

Pros

Growing industry that employs hundreds of people. There are several good Supervisors that really look out for the employees when they can.

Cons

Large amount of layoffs with ongoing installation of automation. Very little communication from upper management and low morale. Constant fear of losing your job and being replaced by machines or personnel from Asia.

Pros

Good work life balance (remote).

Cons

Laid off 3 months after starting, even though I made myself valuable by saving my team tons of time. Sketchy company.
