      Pros

      Great early development opportunities and fantastic entry-level salary and benefits. Great coworkers. Lots of opportunities with the company if you're willing to travel and live in remote locations, where the majority of plants are located. The company had one of the most robust safety programs I've seen and seemed to legitimately care about employee well-being.

      Cons

      Without transferring to other plants growth opportunities are limited. US business was poorly managed. Entry-level pay for management positions was very good, however the pay scale did not continue to be competitive. After 5 years of continually receiving the maximum annual raises pay was behind that of peers in other companies who initially had made less.

      Pros

      Ability to work 100% remote.

      Cons

      ITAS OTC Manager has no clue how to manage, encourage development, or plan growth. He was too busy trying to keep his skills up and not actually cultivate newcomers and manage well. I felt alone and not supported by my manager. The environment is not great for newcomers to the company. The team supposedly has so much work, but was able to lay me off after returning to work from health event. Complete and utter joke. They do not honor their core values. Beware of this place.
