Pros

If you are established there you can throw a hissy fit like a 6 year old and get your way. While talking rationally and trying to solve problems is looked upon as weak. Only by having a hard angry demeanor will you get anything accomplished; and this is after several years of being there.

Cons

Fake atmosphere, constant infighting, CHILDISH antics and personalities. ZERO TRAINING!!! no safety measures which they treat as a joke and is outsourced by the Alabama headquarters. Old broken equipment which barely works. if you dont know someone or are confused by ANYTHING, simply pretend that you know because if you say something they WILL assume your incompetent and sever you just so they dont have to train you more. Pathetic weak lazy management which is over worked with far too much responsibility. Felt like highschool.

Pros

I loved the customers and some of the co-workers that I worked with on a daily basis

Cons

Some of the employees/management were hot heads and were hard to work with sometimes. There was definite favoritism

Pros

If you're a straight white guy, you'll fit in well.

Cons

Women, people of color, anyone in the LGBTQ spectrum, or just generally good people should stay far away from this place. Under the previous CEO (Tim Breen) this was a good place to work; flexibility, good pay, intelligent decisions from leadership. After Randy Breaux took over it transformed from a company that genuinely seemed to care about its employees to a company that only cared about its profits and enriching the shareholders. Pay completely stagnated (and this was before COVID), management began swapping positions every 6 months, and people started getting laid off left and right. Now, you're lucky if you can get any kind of support from management to better your work environment or see any flexibility whatsoever, and the interpersonal culture at Motion is completely rancid. Managers have best friends on the teams they manage, and actively play favorites with no regard for actual productivity when it comes to career advancement or even just basic support. Leadership will actively tank any projects they didn't come up with because it makes them look like they're making decisions, when most of the time they're just flying and drinking on the company dime (all the while saying they don't have enough money in the budget for raises or incentives).
