Pros
Stable workforce. Friendly and intelligent coworkers. A marked improvement in diversity and inclusion in recent years. Department regional manager is human, approachable and willing to work with employees to create situations positive to growth within the company. Nice office in excellent location.
Cons
A lot of creepy focus on "the Hatch way", employees are expected to be completely devoted to the corporate manifesto. Despite an emphasis on diversity and inclusion, upper management consists largely of out-of-touch old white men. Zero flexibility regarding working from home — employees were given less than a month’s notice to return to the office full time. Lower level employees are blamed for quality issues, when higher ups are the ones trying to circumvent normal checking procedures and pressuring us to work faster than we should. A considerable portion of the workload is being outsourced to low cost centres overseas. No clear path to becoming a shareholder.
