Fair pay, but management prioritises parties over employees

Pros

OK compensation and like to spend money on parties.

Cons

Rather spend money on parties than the employees. Elitist management with no concerns for employees needs.

Good benefits but difficult promotion process and turnover issues

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Adequate amount of PTO and suitable medical benefits and 401K. Co-workers were helpful and good resources when needed.

Cons

Difficult to receive promotions, as site GM, HR, and Global have to approve. No/very small annual increases. Departments need to hire additional support; again, difficult to get management and global to approve, thus a lot of turnover. Site directors/managers had conflicts between departments. Some would intentionally undermine other department heads if it suited their interest. Two directors have personal relationship, which seems to be conflict of interest.
