Best place I've worked, but...

Pros

The pay is great after last years raises and the shift differential, especially for this area. My current manager is excellent. I can count on a 40 hour paycheck every week. Yearly bonuses are also great. The veteran management that's been here a while are great resources, and in my experience they care about their employees. Low stress environment, work doesn't effect my homelife.

Cons

The new vacation system of accruing vacation is an improvement over the old system, however the starting amount for the 2024 year is downright wrong, i personally went from 120 hours of vacation (with plans already made for it during the summer of 2024) to 40 hours of vacation and 40 hours of "sick time". It wouldn't have hurt them to give us our usual amounts to start the new system. New managers are too young and have no real experience with the real world. The new match system retirement only pays 4 percent to our 8, a far cry from what it could or should be. HR doesn't advocate for the employees, dealing with many of them feels like being on trial with no representation. Bad employees are given far too many "passes" while others have to pick up their slack.

Managers were awesome, very helpful and supportive.

Cons

Compensation plan was changed and it seemed as if it was done to negatively effect the earnings of sales reps.
