Pros
I appreciate the Work/Life Balance this Company offers, schedules are very stable and comfortable. We have managers who are great leaders and treat us with dignity and respect. We have great benefits including 5% match contribution on 401 K, and a decent amount of vacation.
Cons
We get 5 days paid leave a year, but it is required to schedule your sick time 24 hrs in advance, this time has to be approved by your manager. If we get up sick and call in, we are penalized, risking our job and risking our raise. There is no opportunity for getting sick the same day you call in. I never knew we could schedule getting sick. Policies really need an update. Providing a doctors note after calling in should be enough testimony that you did get sick and received medical help. But at this moment, bringing a doctors note doesn't excuse us from missing work unless we schedule our sick time. Never heard of this before. In other words, there's no chance for us to get sick, we should go to work, and spread whatever sickness even if this is contagious, and schedule your sick time. Manageable time is not sick time, we shouldn't be taking manageable time as sick time. Getting sick shouldn't be penalized especially if we talk about those 5 days the company provides, it's only 5 days a year, your production will be alright.
