Pros

Used to be lots of opportunities and avenues for growth around 2012 to 2020. It's a California owned company now, if you like California style policies, you may like it there, They do try to train people to get along with each other, they over do it in my opinion.

Cons

Started going downhill even before covid hit and all the DEI stuff made it worse. Has gone downhill heavily since 2023. Lots of people that I worked with were laid off in 2023, many more have left due to working conditions / toxic co-workers. There are (were) a lot of great people working there, but there are (were) a lot of toxic people working there as well, made for a bumpy work experience. Toxic people do get fired eventually, but it took way longer than I felt it should have. Company moved a fair amount of manufacturing to Malaysia around 2022. I don't know, I hope things turn around for the company, America needs jobs!! I'm giving this place 5 stars for diversity and inclusion, but this is not a positive rating, it's simply a recognition that they push it down everyone's throat.
