Pros

Free coffee in Beloit facility is great! Lovely facility.

Cons

The talent acquisition leadership has created an environment of fear, chaos and dysfunctional behaviors. Recruiters are punished if they do not meet their metrics. Leadership takes their resources away (needed to do their job) when they do not meet their metrics. They talk about confidential information about each other and behind their backs. Every day is complete chaos created by management. They would 60+ hours a week, no work-life balance and meetings are of very little value. Leadership micromanages which is why so many hours are worked. People are and have been very unhappy but due to poor job market unable to leave. If anyone where to go to HR to complain, HR would turn against them and they would be blacklisted. They live in fear of losing their jobs everyday.

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.
