Pros

The people I work with are great and generally speaking want me to succeed. In my experience, if you ask for help people are willing to give it, but people are busy and you have to ask. The executive committee has made a real effort to improve communication and I think its working. There is also currently a lot of work being done on the facility which is nice. During the pandemic, they have been very accommodating to ensure employee safety while maintain productivity. I have a lot of room to grow and a lot of people willing to help me get there.

Cons

On-boarding is tough. MTS has so much tribal knowledge and it can be hard to learn what is going on. The products are hard to understand and there is not a great knowledge base that is easily accessible.

Pros

Compensate and the Geoff Graves bike parking building! Rode scholar to learn from! Huge pro - running Becker back to the horse farm! Killed sales with his dream of being his own CEO!

Cons

Leadership most worried about their offices - not employees. HR department has the highest turnover of the whole company. Next lay-off must be in planning stage (been a few weeks since the last). Corporate compliance - bahahaha - listen to that mouth! New CEO was a board member the whole time stock value kept decreasing! He will keep stock price down for day traders!

Pros

Health insurance is cheap & comprehensive

Cons

No loyalty to employees Ambiguously "legal" labor practices Furloughed, fired, or cut hours of workers during the pandemic to "cut costs" while continuing to hire new staff Absolutely no cross-departmental communication or collaboration, everyone does their own thing Have forced people into retirement for cost reasons or because of their health issues, even if this is not the official reason given No opportunity to advance due to middle management's complete disconnection and lack of investment in employee success
