Pros

Free lunch or cupcakes when we are overworked! Yay!

Cons

The lead in my mouse room did not even want to be there, and would take sick days off on weeks where things look bleak. Labor is high and intense. People with amazing work ethic are taken advantage of as well.

Pros

Good pay and benefits are decent

Cons

Long commutes with tight time accountability due to newer rules. No more leniency for weather or traffic related tardiness that is common in Maine. Constantly changing rules and expectations are making the job impossible. Failure to meet new expectations lead to no finishes or raises or tuition reimbursement. Forced overtime in Ellsworth location with so.e employees being sent from Bar Harbor to cover. Seems like a sinking ship and I would not recommend anyone I liked for a job here.
