Pros

Great flexibility and chances for managers to recognize staff for good performance.

Cons

A working environment where work politics shine so brightly that it completely wipes out any good there is.. Performative managers run rampant here. You are not rewarded for voicing out real issues. This is the highest turnover I have seen in any shared service and it is actually very concerning. Extreme amount of toxicity even between direct team members.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased you’ve experienced strong flexibility and recognition for performance as these are important for supporting and motivating our teams. While we appreciate your opinion around how a performance culture may not be ideal for everyone, it's difficult to reconcile your comment that the performance culture you appreciate is something you'd like to see change. Regardless, we do appreciate your views and opinion, and we encourage you to share your feedback with your HR business partner if there opportunities you see and would like to articulate.

Pros

There really isn't much idle time. Plenty of work orders and PM's to do each shift.

Cons

No advancement, None. The company has been through several hiring freezes, and most departments are short handed. It has been a revolving door. Instead of filling the positions they have just doubled the workload on the employees.
