Pros
The other employees are wonderful and hardworking for the most part. 401k plan is great and the bonus is good. Great christmas party. Really felt like i understood all aspects of the business as everyone at every level is willing to take the time to explain to you how elements of the business work even if it doesn't directly pertain to your job. The Materials Manager at IAS is the absolute best. Encouragement towards being yourself for the most part which is a nice plus.
Cons
Extremely hard to get a promotion if not impossible for most people. Toxic middle management - dealing with them feels like being in an abusive relationship. Clique-y atmosphere. Constant clock watching and lack of trust in employees. Hourly people expected that the salaried people would have to follow the same rules on breaks and lunches despite working pretty constantly outside of normal work hours. Complaints not taken seriously. Bad leave policies. Very little PTO. The things that get commented on by HR make no sense - constant comments on my wardrobe when someone else in the office is literally coming in in sweatpants. Comments on my nails being chipped all the time. Any time we tried to take steps towards becoming more efficient someone else came along and put a stop to it. Incredibly manual, archaic systems. Passive aggressive behavior towards employees that remain that are friends still with employees who have left the company. Their leave policy is horrible on both short term disability and bereavement.
