Pros

Work from home period was great but I know that’s not how they operate anymore. My organization structure in corporate marketing was insulated from a lot of the departmental drama and turnover.

Cons

A lot of departmental turnover made following and adopting processes hard Not very competitive for pay Hard to move up the job ladder, easier to leave.

Pros

- Facilities are well maintained, and the environment is generally clean and organized. - A bonus structure exists for hourly and salaried staff. - Many managers and technical leads are approachable and willing to help. - Starting pay can be competitive depending on the role. - Plenty of employee parking. - Training programs are structured and help new hires ramp up efficiently.

Cons

- Compensation does not keep pace with cost of living, and raises feel reactive rather than intentional. - Bonus structures lack consistency. - The culture in some areas has shifted toward heavy oversight and micromanagement. What was once more results focused now feels compliance driven, with increasing restrictions that have hurt morale. - Benefits are expensive relative to coverage quality. Healthcare premiums significantly reduce take home pay - Conflict resolution often appears risk averse and liability focused rather than employee focused - The company doesn't seem to care about employee assets. - Internal priorities and project expectations are frequently unclear, leading to misalignment and frustration. - The rollout of unlimited PTO has created more confusion than flexibility.

Pros

Good consistent schedule. Easy work flow Work life balance was pretty good.

Cons

With in the last couple months operators management had gotten a stick up them. Was chill and nice to work with but they “tightened the leashes” for no reason but to have just a tiny bit more control. Pay could be better Operator management hides in office.
