Pros

401k is good. That's about it.

Cons

Low pay vs other companies in the SD area. Constant turnover in manufacturing, shipping and stockrooms. HORRIBLE WORK LIFE BALANCE - If you are hourly you get 6 sick days a year. After that you are forced to use 8 hours vacation time for every day you are out. Not just sick but anything, NO EXCEPTIONS. Car trouble? Doctors appointment? Sick child? ANYTHING? There goes 8 hours of your vacation time. I got COVID and was out 5 days and later had to help elderly mother with something for a day. After that I would just go to work sick and my coworkers would do the same, we didn't want to lose vacation, it is very important to everyone not just upper management. Also get ready to work mandatory overtime on Saturday if they want you to. Look elsewhere if the position is hourly!

Pros

Game room Some elements of the lean culture Beautiful facility

Cons

CEO is a narcissist who has surrounded himself with sycophants Overly heavy with highly paid executives while everyone else is expected to do more with less and endure a precarious season with multiple layoffs to keep the business at the profitability percentages the CEO expects Very low female to male ratio in higher levels of leadership and the CEO is blatantly patriarchal and misogynistic at worst, and blind to his biases at best
