Pros

Coworkers Overall nice and clean facility Job itself is easy to get the hang of

Cons

Awful HR, on my last day at work, after not being confronted once about my performance, they made things very unnecessarily awkward by confronting me about my “training time with vendors” which we are ALLOWED to have. I had a significant other who also quit this job because her supervisor was harassing her even when her family member passed away. HR didn’t do a single thing, even though they have had multiple complaints about this same person in the past. Even little things like requesting an accommodation do to a health concern they will ALWAYS make a big deal out of it and work their hardest to scree you over. HR will not do ANYTHING for you as an employee so be prepared! Salary, they pay certain people significantly more than others in the same position Location, Fort Wayne is kinda mid
