Pros

It's a great paying job but the management can be very ignorant of the processes on the floor and have constant changing ideas and implementations that tend to disrupt processes, the hours can be very long and there is alot of overtime, a very good job if you don't have a family but very difficult if you have children or other obligations

Cons

very long hours, extreme heat, tendency to be a hazardous work enviroment

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.
