Pros

The location eliminated my commute. The insurance benefits are great. The training at the First Hill campus was very helpful. You definitely notice a difference in that First Hill is a lot more organized, supportive, positive, and welcoming than Edmonds.

Cons

The environment is not conducive to learning, questions are not encouraged and are viewed as if you are challenging their processes. There are very few reference materials, especially in the way of expiration dating. There are difficult personalities and you'll feel caught in the middle of their varying opinions and power struggles. The lack of teamwork between the evening and night shifts was like nothing I've ever seen before. The conflicting information from co-workers and management will leave you extremely frustrated. Don't expect any support from leadership. Your concerns will not be addressed. They would rather terminate you.

Pros

+The company is severely incompetent +Trauma-bonding with your co-workers will never be easier

Cons

-Toxic management culture: you'll frequently be brought into full-team meetings where the management will circle-jerk themselves, refuse to listen to team members, change random procedures, then ask why the workers want to unionize. -The company is SEVERELY incompetent: the company blows thousands of dollars on worthless things like their own in-house AI chatbot GPT clone and refuses to spend money on resources wisely while simultaneously complaining about the budget. -Abhorrently dishonest: They let me go after bringing me into a meeting to discuss "communication expectations." They then refused to allow two-party consent for recording, fired me for apparently "violating their standards of protocol", refused to allow me to stay to gather any evidence of their random firing, and refused to respond to any emails to confirm the nature of the meeting. This was ALSO the week before the management promised everyone on our team an annual raise. -Separation is a nightmare: Not only did they lie about the reason for separation before being busted by the state, but they also refuse to cash out PTO time, and HR is a nightmare to work with when confirming details for state services.
