Great job for a friend, relative or spouse of a current employee. Compensation was great. Benefit package was okay by comparison.

Toxic work environment including management. Raises and promotions went to management sycophants. Just doing the job is not enough. Getting hurt or sick will jeopardize you job. Raises go to the top, essential workers get salaries cut and froze.
