Pros

Salary & bennies were good. Vilter has a niche market that is exciting to represent. Taking a tour if the factory would be very interesting to an outsider.

Cons

Vilter has no job training, you are tossed in a cubicle and expected to figure it out. Management are chauvinists and don't really know your job. You will never get kudos for a job well done, they will pile more on you as a gift. Management destroy your credibility and confidence daily. HR will not help you, they have sold their souls to the corporation and will not protect you. Your lucky day comes when the terminate your position and walk you to the door. From the outside it looks like s great place to work, but you will feel the hell inside and immediately.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
