Don't work here for a career

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Variety of free company products

Cons

Full time workers rarely get bonuses and yearly raises are a joke. Low pay if you're in production and no guaranteed hours. Also company was bought out so you're job could be gone if they decide to cut costs.

Pros

Decent work life balance Nice people

Cons

This company used to be decent, but it was bought by a private equity firm that is slashing jobs. Culture of company has been on the steady decline. Pay is not competitive and no annual raises. Work is not challenging or innovative. Very siloed teams.
