Great products, growing and huge market. Board and CEO care company performance.

Cons

1. Revolving doors, feel sad seeing those talents come and go. It is hurting the business. 2. Processes were developed but not followed.

Pros

Easy going with no pressure. You don't have someone looking over your shoulder and if you need work it's not hard to find. Helping people out and fixing problems to make the lines run smoothly is rewarding.

Cons

The benefits need to be reviewed and improved. When getting hired in and finding out later that you have to wait for almost two years before you get a raise is sad. Having no paid vacation time the first year is not good. People in management and engineers come and go so fast out the door and move on to someplace else show's me that there is know one there to try and keep people. The weight put on people forces them out. Working overtime is a way of life and when you get hired in and told we always work overtime is good but when the ( bottom falls out ) and your down to fority hours for an indeffinite period of time really hurts. Wiating on a hurricane to take the inventory built up and get overtime in order to make more to replace it kinda shows me that the planning needs to be reviewed.

Lack of Employee Appreciation

Pros

-Nice, recently updated facility with cafeteria -Lots of opportunity for advancement/internal promotion -Fun company picnics A lot really depends on your team/boss. My current boss is clearly rooting for me to do well and has advocated for my professional development from day 1. He allows me flexibility to pursue avenues that are of interest to me, and proposes projects that will push me outside of my comfort zone. In my previous position at the company, everything was much more regimented and coming to work was not enjoyable. We were incredibly micro-managed and it seemed like we were constantly being berated for something.

Cons

-Low pay -2 weeks starting vacation, don't bump up to 3 weeks until 5 years -Little flexibility with hours (depending on department), strict with attendance for some but little in the way of ramifications for those who abuse policies -No lines of open communication (varies by department)
