Decent benefits, but unacceptable work life
Pros
-They had decent health benefits, versus out-of-pocket cost, than other companies at the time. -If management likes you, you will go far. -You will have lots of opportunity to learn, though often it will be how NOT to do certain things.
Cons
-Every position is dead-end unless you are part of the "good old boys" network, or if you're "lucky" enough to be recruited into the Corporate office. -There is no work-life balance at all. Management pays lip service to it, but otherwise scoffs at the mention of "burnout". -If management doesn't like you, they will criticize you for every little thing. -If you are LGBTQ+, expect micro- and macro-aggressions, and otherwise poor treatment by management and co-workers alike. ---Doubly so if you are transgender. About 5 years (or so) ago a management employee transitioned on the job, and not only did they immediately start experiencing gaslighting, abuse, and unfair treatment, but I heard quite a lot of talking and mockery behind their back. They endured this treatment for over a year before they finally left. -Expectations are unclear and change on each manager's whim. -Most managers are promoted from the production floor, without any apparent leadership training.
