Pros

I truly enjoy working here because teamwork is such a big part of the culture—everyone is supportive and willing to help each other succeed. The positive environment makes it easy to feel motivated and valued every day. Our CEO is approachable and understanding, which makes a huge difference in feeling heard and respected. The company also sets clear and appropriate standards, giving me direction while allowing room for growth. Overall, this is a place where I feel proud to contribute and be part of the team.

Cons

One small challenge is that the company occasionally requires emergent after-hours work, but these situations are very rare and only happen in extreme cases. The positive side is that management is upfront about it and always ensures employees are fairly compensated for the extra time. Overall, the balance makes it easy to appreciate the company’s respect for both work and personal life.

Pros

- Location is right off the freeway - Ample parking

Cons

- Extremely stressful work environment - Insultingly low pay compared to industry and area averages - Lack of incentives (no raises or health insurance; employees between 2023 and 2025 saw no raises in that 2.5 year period due to "economic uncertainty"). - Promotions without accompanied pay increase. - Unrealistic expectations from management and disciplinary action for failure to meet these expectations. - Culture problems; "we work hard and party hard", firearms freely passed around during work meetings, expectation of sacrifice vis a vis work-life balance, and active shutdown of internal communication.
