Upper Management was lacking

Machine operator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

All the overtime you could want during “Q4” (peak season). Nice fancy coffee/ soda machines Work is easy, for the most part.

Cons

Upper management and full time employees looked down on temp employees and we were treated as less than. They dangle getting hired on to work you to death only to “release you of your assignment” when you least expect it.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great products and some really talented and fun colleagues

C-level leadership lacks strategic vision, instead choosing to react on a dime to the ups and downs of short-term performance results

Acquisition has created disorganization

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great products, good salary and benefits

Cons

Growth through acquisition has created a huge, disparate, organization with silos and finger pointing. Vision for the company seems good, but executing that vision doesn't seem likely.
