Bad company, a sweatshop

Anonymous employee

Pros

Started to change for better, but changed back

Cons

Work for it since called Valid with low wages, benefits and PTO. Then new company purchased and became a little better. But the wages are still low, the annual bonus is a joke, say raises are automatic, but raises small if they give one. Had a Christmas party, Employee Appreciation Day, etc. But changed back. No Christmas party for floor workers, but one for managers and office. The last Employee Appreciation Day the company fired a bunch of us. A few weeks later there were ads for hiring. Insurance high. Have to stand for the entire shift, 10 or 12 hours, sometimes in one spot. Management no clue how to fix and not want to fix. Lost business because of poor management.

Pros

- Stability - Great colleagues - Very flexible work arrangements which provide great work-life balance - company with very good reputation amongst its customers

Cons

- Salary should be negotiated well when signing the contract, Further increases are limited (few %, which do not even compensate inflation) - There are better-paying companies in the area - very slow company, with a lot of processes requiring manual work, which massively increase cost and reduce productivity - there are many people with high-level (and highly-paid) roles which do not bring any value to the company, have no knowledge about its business and spend time attending "strategic" meetings for projects whose scope gets progressively reduced and whose deadline gets postponed
