Great Benefits, Too Much Inconsistency

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people are extremely loyal and work very hard. The managers mean well and care about their team members. The benefits were amazing.

Cons

Too many politics and inconsistencies. Leadership cared more about the bottom line than its hard-working employees who deserved to be paid more and receive bonuses.
