Pros

Facility is clean, small familial feel. The job isn’t hard, and you’re given a lot of flexibility. Some people find ways to advance their careers here. Great bonuses and plenty of overtime.

Cons

HR does not work for you. Insurance is just okay. Performance evaluations are a joke and need overhauled badly. As does training methods. The more connected you are here, the easier it is to move up and they really don’t even bother hiding it anymore.
