Business Outlook

Pros

The company was good before some people bought it. After the new management took over, it was really a mess.

Cons

Bad behaviors towards their employees. They can do and undo at any time regardless of your efforts. I think the new management is trying to get rid of all the employees and possibly bring in their own people.

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay, Insurance and PTO are satisfactory.Could be an excellent place to work with new management.

Cons

401K match is terrible(Walmart is actually better).Corporate preaches about ethics but our site managers do not act ethically and actually punish workers for reporting problems. They are not interested in the true root causes of problems.Site management is too focused on their careers and hiring/promoting their friends and themselves that they don't actually do their jobs well which is not serving the customer, company or employees.Ethical over site from corporate or an outside firm is needed.
