Pros

Weekly Pay New clean, drug free facility There is opportunity for growth At first I was sold on the fact Clayton, OH facility was new and there is all sort of space to advance to better positions (which is true). It is a nice facility its clean not smoky or gassy fumes or nothing like that, no dust flowing all over the place. Safe place to work as far as violence is concerned. I would recommend this Job to somebody who just need to get their foot in the door, or needs the money with no other work options

Cons

Favortism is contagious, If you are not a die hard "yes man" or a "kiss up" who has other links to the facility that are higher up than you, you may be (s.o.l) You can do things that greatly surpasses the favorites performances and you will be overlooked for the job. They will string you along and then you find out the new guy got the job.

Pros

Good health insurance and benefits, good yearly bonuses. The pay is good.

Cons

They are enforcing returning to office by any means necessary. They have lost many high-quality producers who have refused to relocate or refuse to come in. Here's the kicker - they are requiring in-person attendance at the Chicago office and there aren't even enough desks for everyone. It would be a literal fire hazard if we all came into the Chicago office at the same time, M-F, during business hours. No one knows how or if they are going to actually enforce this. Cost of gas is insane, Joe doesn't care about the workers. Or the work for that matter. It's obvious this is a soft layoff, they have made a bunch of people quit. Their internal design agency is falling apart, lots of people have quit, not only because of return to office but because of the toxic politics, favoritism, and lack of direction and accountability. Mediocre workers are allowed to keep their jobs ONLY because of their ability to put their bodies in a chair and work in-person. The other relocation option HR gave besides Chicago was Peoria. No one wants to live in Peoria for any reason whatsoever, be for real.
