Pros
Great team of people to work with. This role was my first job out of college, and my team taught me a lot of valuable lessons. Great 401k matching (was higher in the past). Hybrid options for those in office roles. Personally, had a phenomenal and supportive manager.
Cons
Small teams and overbearing workload- I worked around 50 hours a week. Awful workforce management- one week senior leadership is pushing for as many people to be hired as possible, then the next week the president has to approve every job posting to ensure they are “justifiable.” A lot of people that have been there forever in leadership roles that are unable to adjust to change. On the flip side, a lot of new leaders that have no clue how the business works or experience in manufacturing with the inability to understand what expectations they should have for all teams across the business. Poor training- specifically safety training. High turnover in production roles creating strain on all areas of the business. NEPOTISM!!!! Every manager, lead, or supervisor refers a friend/family member that is unqualified, and they get hired… Layoffs.
