Pros

the insurance was the best reason to work here. They are changing that as of the new year so it will no longer be obtainable by hourly employees. I havent had any trouble getting time off for my family when i needed it but others have.

Cons

Upper management makes promotions depending on who they like not the ability of the employee People in same positions are treated differently

Pros

Pay is decent for Knoxville Benefits are good Coworkers are the only thing holding this place together

Cons

The culture has taken a nosedive. The new CFO sets the tone, and that tone is basically “I don’t care.” That attitude trickles down through leadership and it shows in every decision being made. The return‑to‑office mandate is a perfect example. It’s not about productivity — it’s about control. People with long commutes are burning hours of their lives just to sit in the office on Zoom calls they used to take from home. Morale is the lowest it has ever been. Entire teams have been gutted because people are quitting faster than they can be replaced. The workload dumped on whoever stays is unsustainable. Communication from leadership is cold, dismissive, and out of touch. Feedback goes nowhere. Concerns are brushed off. Decisions are made with zero regard for how they impact employees. Constant reorganizations create chaos. Roles change overnight, expectations shift constantly, and employees are expected to absorb more and more with no support. The company used to feel people‑focused. Now it feels like a machine that’s grinding down the very people who keep it running.

Pros

You'll get a pizza party if you do good!

Cons

There's so much wrong with this company compared to others in California. Bad starting pay, bad top out, terrible and expensive health insurance - Cigna is no longer sold in CA yet it is our only option for coverage which is poor! You might get lucky and get a $.50-.75 raise if you don't make a single mistake the entire year. No bonuses, no advantage to work hard, extremely terrible HR department lacking knowledge about general issues or questions.
