Lots of stupid rules, and management doesn’t care about you

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay was ok, and benefits are expensive for the size company this is, and their observed holidays list wasn’t bad

Cons

Raises are mostly about enough to cover cost of living increases, and are only once a year. Promotions don’t seem to be often, meaning they usually fill open positions with outside hires. HR has no interest in doing anything that goes against management. Sick day policy is downright stupid (it’s up to local management, which decided you get 3 days a year to be sick, and decided this while COVID was already starting to spread nationwide). Company dragged their feet on COVID action, and used their “essential business” status to justify having everyone come into work, regardless of what non-essential products they were working on. Retail displays are not essential, and employees working on them should not have been put at risk to work on them.
