      Hard to grow career without moving to HQ

      Pros

      People are nice. Job security. Ok benefits. Annual merit increases.

      Cons

      Hard to grow your career without moving to Austin. Old time employees that should retire are occupying lower level roles, which is preventing younger employees from getting those positions. Conservative culture. Mandating 4 days in the office. Lower than market rate compensation. Not actually innovating when creating new items 95% of the time. Trying to build culture from the ground up but is coming top down. “Emphasizes” diversity and inclusion, yet employees do not get MLK day or Juneteenth off? Too many Boomers in high level roles; we need younger leaders to shape and drive the company forward.

      Pros

      Gained management experience, pay was industry average, learned a great deal in a short period of time. Mature company as well.

      Cons

      Quite simply, no work life balance. Had to work 6-7 days a week (65-75 hours) and was salaried. Very behind the times on lean manufacturing and efficiency. I am not against old-fashioned labor but there are numerous ways that productivity could have been improved and upper management simply was not interested.
