Pros

Great environment if you're into the outdoors. Excellent coworkers. Culture is laid-back but still accountable. Promotes environmental activism and responsibility. Having dogs at work is nice. My manager has been excellent--very accommodating and helpful.

Cons

Three rounds of layoffs have driven morale into the ground. Multiple restructuring efforts and leadership turnover in the past few years have caused a persistent sense of instability. Communication was handled pretty poorly for much of those transitions, leaving the employees suspicious and paranoid. Leadership and communication has started to improve recently, but it feels like too little too late. Most positions are paid well below industry standards. Little to no opportunity for promotion. Management is hit-or-miss. Some departments are very over-worked, which has caused a lot of turnover.

Pros

Schedule that’s the only pro

Cons

Take advantage of every employee!! They make u come in sick but then everyone with compromised immune system get very ill they write you up!!! When I was there they had lost 4 employees and now I’m still in touch with a lot of them and 3 more have quit and another looking for another job because they don’t pay enough and expect you to your job description as well as others while managers just sit at desk (they call it bull pin) they made over $20 million in November but refused to give any raise or bonus!! When they fired myself and another great employee they did so and ended up having to pay us unemployment because they fired us unlawfully
