Pros

Great coworkers and family environment. They want you to feel like you're able to communicate and affect change within the company.

Cons

Terrible communication. Dysfunctional organization and management. Everything is handled on the fly. Inventory and P/L ratios are lost in taking care of the customer to a fault. This reduces profit margins, which trickles down to wages to its lower employees. Management/Engineering knows best and do not heed warnings about production issues or flaws in process until something breaks or safety issues happen. Unless you're tenured, your concerns are ignored. Poor safety practices and procedures. Issues are handled on a "after the fact" basis or safety practices are neglected if it interferes with management/engineering goals. Poor training development practices and is practically non-existent. You're handed manuals and some thrown together procedures by overworked engineers and expected to perform. Management/Engineering constantly in meetings rather than overseeing process and training employees to help increase productivity and knowledge. You WILL perform multiple job duties. It is expected that you change your job roles according to company priorities, which change constantly.

Pros

— Legitimate portfolio work: the role involved a full website overhaul and product PDP writing, which has real value on a CV — The company name carries weight and looks good on paper

Cons

Pay was consistently late — sometimes by three weeks. No explanation, no heads up, no acknowledgment of the stress this creates for contractors who don't have the luxury of waiting indefinitely for money they've already earned. On the day-to-day side: we were required to produce detailed logs of everything we did — long, tedious activity lists that served no clear purpose and ate into actual work time. The broader culture was captured perfectly in a phrase that came up regularly in stakeholder meetings: "I won't fall on my sword" or "I won't die on that hill" — or some variation of it. Upper management had a consistent habit of deflecting accountability downward onto contract workers, who had the least power and the least protection. When things went wrong, contractors were the convenient explanation. When things went right, that credit traveled elsewhere. If you're considering a contract role here, get your payment schedule in writing and ask very specific questions about how your manager operates. What's described as a flexible, collaborative environment may look quite different once you're in it.
