Pros

Pay raise evaluation every year. There used to be gainshare. (But that ends this quarter.) offers health insurance, dental, vision, you have to sign up in first 90 days or wait until annual enrollment period, its deducted from paycheck. They train you on equipment needed to do the job. They will close down for massive snow storms. They ice the walkways when there is supposed to be ice. You do get some paid vacation days off. And christmas week is the holiday shutdown also paid for 8hr shift 5 days.

Cons

Raises don't always go through right away. The miscommunication between departments is crazy. Training is two weeks but they take soo long to decide where you are going you dont get the proper equipment training before your training weeks are over so you are waiting weeks to months to get trained in equipment. Logistics gets blamed for everything. Departments will have outings and parties, not logistics cause they always need them. Mandatory overtime almost every weeekend, hours posted are 8hrs, but they will send you home early, without pay for the hours they said you where obligated to be there. They have all employee meetings every month or so and they get upset or rude when people ask questions, during Q&A time. If you are required to work 10 hr shifts, every shift, your vacation does not pay 10 hrs. Just 8.

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.
