Pros
-This is a good starter job. -There is an age gap so retirement leads to mentoring & promotions for younger employees
Cons
They are cheap. They do not offer competitive pay rates the bonus matches you to what your salary should be at competitors- they don't take care of their machinery- but they expect people to manage the plants efficiently anyway. They don't tackle personnel issues in fact if you go to HR, plan on being reprimanded. Their motto is avoid and pretend you aren't there. This is the place that young people start to work at, realize NO ONE wants to change things because that's how it's always done- and then they flee to the next job that encourages innovation, change and efficiency. This is also the place that older people come to nap on the job or take excessive time off claiming medical reasons and retire. Oh and if someone is let go, expect to take on another person's job. I covered duties for 3 other people while working there. They also will spend high dollar on software that don't talk to other programs but expect people to work with it even though it adds hours to their work load. They also trust the ICC (Integrated Collaboration Center) over actuality. Good luck working with those theories! Also- they will give you a tons of surveys on how the culture is-- then a few months later ask again as if that's enough time to change. They then pressure 100% participation. This company has had such terrible, bullying leadership and they encourage such competitive behavior among their subordinates-that's why the turnover rate remains so high. - They switched to a no name insurance provider (Imagine Health??) in the Houston office that no one really is in network for but Blue Cross Blue Shield is still offered in Denver
