Pros

The money. At this point nothing else.

Cons

The previous reviews are spot on. High stress environment. Discriminatory. Favoritism. Benefits have severely declined. Company does nothing to recognize or retain people who actually add value. Goals and a path to get there are ambiguous and policies are applied very inconsistently. Nearly zero recognition from upper management; to the point where it's a mind game sometimes.

Pros

Smaller feel, good for prioritizing family and life outside of work. Not too competitive between co-workers. Great collaborative culture.

Cons

On the smaller side means less opportunities and more waiting for roles to open up and advance. I saw a lot of people leave for better opportunities.

Good opportunity to make good money through constantly available overtime.

Cons

12-hour swing shift leads to abysmal work/life balance.
