Pros

Benefits, 401K, EAP, diversity. Since Covid-19 the ability to work from home. Vacation was improved to an extra week. 4 weeks after 5 years. More if you have prior experience as well.

Cons

Revolving door for mid and upper management. Company has had 5 CEO’s in 7 years and 5 Presidents over commercial buildings. Company is consistent in being inconsistent in evolving and moving into the 21 century in technology. Programs are outdated and never get replaced, since the people in charge seem to leave before it can be implemented. No bonus structure and no clear path for growth or upward mobility. As soon as some traction starts to help move upward in your role that person in charge leaves and the process starts again. No consistency in how you move upward, it’s in constant revision. Empty promise of change, the company feels like a lost teenager trying to “find itself “ after 3-4 years since the merger. Processes keep getting harder and more tedious, just to be taped together with more procedures as the manager leaves. High burnout and next man up mentality with no reward for your efforts until 2-3 years later. Company had highest revenue ever in a quarter and 15$ Gift Cards for Uber Eats was the reward. For a 5B company this all you get. Each quarter parts of the company keep getting sold off, nobody knows what company it wants to be. Buildings? Components? Everything is for bottom dollar and sold to you in corp speech as “change for the best”. Company is in constant change except nothing changes for the employees. Just the people at the top and then they leave and it all starts again. The culture is non existent, No big Christmas parties, work gathering or any moral boosting. They will say they used to provide this stuff years ago but a few bad apples ruined it for everyone. (How about you throw out the bad apples?) Instead the whole company gets punished. Everything is assumed to be done because employees will take advantage of something, (pessimistic) never seeing the positive. As for the job role, it seems anytime management doesn’t want to invest in Engineering/ Drafting to help get them trained it becomes a new task for sales to perform. Our job of processing orders has gone from average time of 15 minutes to 1 to 2 hours in the span of 4 years. Most jobs tend to get easier as you gain experience, this role has the luxury of doing the opposite. Mid level managers are also so overwhelmed with meetings that they never have the time to help evolve the employees underneath them.
