Pros

The business is growing and we see new opportunities every day

Cons

Business growth is resulting in a larger internal customer base. This is not being fairly accounted for across all teams in regard to resources needed and is causing major burnout.

Culture is eroding quickly

Pros

The people I work with directly, the benefits, and the ability and support to take advantage of learning and development opportunities.

Cons

There is an ever growing disconnect at the “corporate” level vs. members that work in the plants. Double speak is seen often. Tout great culture and want members to have work life balance but then just demand more overtime. This has just been exacerbated with the pandemic with most “corporate” folks working from home. Decisions made at this level often do not set up plants for success. It saddens me to write this because it wasn’t always this way.
