Pros

You get tons of workload, I guess you will learn a lot by yourself

Cons

The company suffers from significant management and culture issues that make it difficult to recommend. 1. Upper management is often disconnected from day-to-day operations and tends to rely heavily on micromanagement. 2. There is a strong blame culture where accountability flows downward, while management decisions are rarely questioned. 3. The company appears to prioritize adding layers of management rather than investing in additional technical staff, equipment, or resources for frontline employees. 4. Training is inadequate for many roles, and procedures for some equipment are outdated or incomplete. 5. New hires are frequently expected to become fully productive within a very short timeframe with limited onboarding support, creating a sink-or-swim environment. 6. Safety practices and standards are not always clearly communicated or consistently enforced. 7. Employees are discouraged from providing honest feedback, and dissenting opinions are often viewed negatively. 8. Salaried employees have been required to work extended periods of mandatory overtime, including six-day workweeks and 60+ hour weeks, with little recognition or compensation for the additional workload. 9. Expectations and success metrics can change without clear communication, making it difficult to understand what is required to return to a normal schedule. 10. Employee turnover is extremely high, particularly among process engineers, leading to constant loss of knowledge and experience. 11. HR appears to primarily support management rather than acting as a neutral resource for employees. 12. The company struggles to attract and retain experienced engineers, resulting in a revolving-door environment and heavy reliance on inexperienced hires. Overall, the culture feels reactive, understaffed, and unsustainable. While some employees may gain valuable experience, many leave due to workload, management practices, and lack of support.

Pros

Paychecks are consistently on time. The pace of the work encourages rapid learning and exposes employees to a wide range of technical challenges. Great but continuously shrinking team of veteran floor employees.

Cons

Hostile work environment. Chaotic and disorganized. Out of touch and toxic upper management. Extreme micromanaging and paranoia around time theft. Blame culture from upper management. Prioritizes hiring more managers to exert control over floor personnel rather than investing in additional floor personnel or additional resources for floor personnel. No training / procedures out of date for much of the equipment. Sink or swim environment for new hires. Expects output within 1-2 weeks of start date. Safety concerns / no LOTO standards. “Yes men” culture — honest or realistic input is punished. Four months straight of six-day mandatory work weeks 60+ hour weeks with no additional compensation for salaried employees. No recognition for effort. No carrot, only stick / punishment for failure to abide by six-day policy. Moving goalposts on success criteria for returning to original schedule. No accountability for this. Extreme attrition from the process engineering team, on track for 100% team attrition within half a year. HR, more so than other companies, serves as a strong arm for management. Cannot hire or retain experienced process engineers due to the above. Has switched to hiring only desperate fresh grads for low pay who do not have a frame of reference for what is normal and don’t push back on an abusive environment. Revolving door company. If a fresh grad is reading this and the choice is between working here and looking for another few months, save your mental health and keep looking.
