Pros

*Has a good retirement program, they focus on the future. *Great co-workers, very team oriented. *New Boss making big and needed changes. *Good work life balance. *Training is available if you ask! *Employee owned company

Cons

*Should have more team building outings - haven't had them since Covid started. *Health Insurance isn't the best - I still have to pay hundreds of dollar out of pocket. *Low Pay and doesn't increase every well with inflation.....Living pay check to pay check! *Giving 3 weeks paid vacation for starting employee's and taking away the 5th week from longer term employee's unless they already had 25 years of service. I feel as an employee owned company, we would have wanted to give more time off for long term vs giving to new / short term employee's.

Thanks for leaving a review. We are glad to hear you have a great team and a supportive local leader. Regarding our paid time off, like our other benefits, we continually evaluate the market to see if we need to update our plans. Employer were offering more vacation to employees earlier in their careers, so in order to stay competitive, we adjusted our plan to provide more days earlier to our employees. Our top tier still provides over 4.5 weeks of paid days, plus paid sick days holidays. Now employees hit that at 15 years rather than 25. Employees who were within a few years of their 25th anniversary at the change were grandfathered in to the "old" tier so they did not lose out. Most employees benefitted greatly from the change by accruing more vacation much earlier in their careers! Time off to recharge is important and now more employees can access this time without having to wait many years.
