Pros

-Reasonable compensation, but you aren't likely to get rich. -PTO policy is quite flexible. -Reasonable benefits. -Free coffee, ice cream, and other on site benefits. -You can learn a lot working here, it spans a wide range of potential skills. -Fantastic co-workers for the most part. -Plenty of company engagement activities. -Employee resource groups have been formed in recent years to help diversity and inclusion among employees who belong to certain groups, such as african american, hispanic, LGBTQ+, and women. -Simply put, the company mission is something I very much believe in.

Cons

This is longer, but don't take it to mean that cons outweigh the pros. -Most hiring for bottom or mid level employees is done through temp services, so turn over is fantastically high, and I was kept as a temp with no benefits for just over 20 months before I was hired in a full-time capacity. -Middle management is a complete mixed bag. Some managers are great, and others run their area as their personal fiefdom. Some play favorites quite badly. -Quality and Safety feel like they take a back seat to delivery in far too many situations. -Company policies are not always clearly communicated to employees. There is very little policy and/or code of conduct training, which I've seen create inter-personal problems and an HR department that feels like they are just making up rules as they go. -Over the past few years, we've had three or four people managing the Safety team, so things are muddled to say the least in this respect. -The quality team is small and is neutered with regards to authority so they feel like they are just lip service to actually improving quality. -If you are on a 10 or 12 hour shift, during holidays you will only get 8 hours of paid time. It's up to you to find the extra hours to work if you want a full paycheck in a pay period with a holiday. We were told that these folks getting 10 or 12 hours of paid time on a holiday would be unfair to those working 8 hour shifts (which is admittedly the majority). I've talked with dozens of people who work 8 hours, I've yet to find one person who things this would be unfair. Most people agree that a holiday should pay one normal shift for that individual typical schedule.

Pros

Decent pay, good hours, fairly simple tasks, some hybrid flexibility.

Cons

Constant micromanaging of performance and KPIs. Performance is posted to the entire department with each error highlighted, be it minor or major. I was actively discourage from asking for help, or questions if I was unsure about an aspect of the job. Myself and my cohort were also actively discouraged from speaking or communicating with one another. This bred more competition and animosity between some employees in tandem with the constant focus on KPIs and comparing scores. Contract-to-hire was on a case-by-case basis and was said to be performance based as well as seniority based. This didn't always track as managers would be inclined to favoritism and certain employees would get fast-tracked or left behind their initial hire groups without explanation. Terrible first responder system for medical emergencies and education to employees on how to handle it (which occurred frequently).
