Pros

Decent pay, good benefits, fair vacation.

Cons

No job is safe, every time a new company is acquired, hundreds of people are fired. Using extremely old operating system because aging VP's don't want to learn new system & IT fears for job security. No physical inventories performed in over 2 acquisitions. Those who speak up with concerns are let go. Huge rumors regarding VP's & staff having personal relationships for promotion, bad for moral. Customer service advised to lie to customers. Aged product repacked for new orders.

Pros

The benefits are competitive, it all ends there.

Cons

Oh where can I start? High school type clicks rule the school and they play nasty in the sand box. The old High Liner management takes full advantage of the power they have and run everyone into the ground. Lying is so common you are surprised when the truth is told and they lie to you on the big issues with straight faces. Management will not support you and will take action against you for not getting their support and the mistakes made by the higher ups because they know no one will stick up for you or dare to. It is widely known that your job will eliminated if you try to defend your self. Back stabbing is so common you spend a large portion of your work week preparing for it and when it comes having undisputable proof does you no good. As to reviews and goals, that is when you see how unethical they really can be. They will lie, and blindly add information to force failure and all the information will a surprise. While working at High Liner you best be looking for a real job.

Pros

The pay, The benefits

Cons

1) The location in Portsmouth NH is nothing but a big high school. 2) If you are not friends with anyone and you are NEW and different"expect to be pushed out.. 3) The management sucks , They are all buddy buddy and take up for each other, they dont do Anything REAL managers should do.. 4) Less yapping of the gums, more work needs to be done. The CUSTOMER SERVICE department is so judgemental and gossips all day long.. They even curse up a storm when on the phone with anybody!! They complain all day everyday about their jobs.. 5) The managers are just as ANNOYING and unprofessional as the people under them 6) They are spiteful and sneaky.. Watch your back. 7) I put in my 2weeks because that job really sucks, it was a stuggle trying to get through the work week, and I was only their for 3months. 8) My last check was half of what it should have been, so they are going to hear it from me with that also.. 9) If you speak your mind, prepared to have your job threatened
