Pros

Few Co-workers have become friends for life. Occasional air balloon or costumed mascot shows up for a local event. Pay has kept head above water but just barely due to California's cost of living.

Cons

Corporate Making mountains out of mole hills with every issue presented. Supervisions communication from all levels is lacking, even with their mandatory leadership training for all "supervisors" is just" ____: a new way to communicate" Micromanagement or over communicating from all levels of Corp on the wrong items hinder work flow of all associates. Utilizing "leased labor" aka ABM to show lower employee numbers for investors. Lack of follow through to fix issues on the floor for with labor force. Exiting CEO spent millions on programs that reverted back to 2016 standards in less than 2 years. Keeping everything so secret that managers down to line workers don't know what will happen in 6 months, let alone 6 weeks or 6 days.

Pros

Free snacks. Easy commute. Stable company. Competitive salary for the area.

Cons

Chaos, lack of skilled management, especially with technology, data and advanced business practices. It is more important to be a friend or relative of powerful persons then to have job skills and competency.
