Pros

The day I leave the organization at this rate.

Cons

Poor PTO (when compared to the other organizations I have worked at offered both vacation AND sick time. Catch the flu? Guess you just lost out on a vacation at Banner, oh well.) Management is very incompetent - my manager shouldn't ask me questions ALL THE TIME on how I do things; it should be the other way around where I ask help, not my manager. Work feels like it never gets done because no one seems to do anything or responds to emails in timely fashion so simple projects that should take 4 hours drag on forever spanning weeks. Very conservative thinking by management where any thoughts that are progressive or even aggressive get shot down (am chomping at the bit to give strategies to competitors in the future at this point out of pure frustration with the organization). Regularly see people gossiping about other coworkers in their cubes since we can't grow up and act like adults. I'm not a coffee drinker but I've never worked at a place that charges their employees for coffee and over charges employees for concessions. Pay is also below market value, as I regularly see related roles with similar levels of experience offering at least $5,000 more a year with better work-life balance. Bonus is horrendous compared to past organizations I have been at. Non-compete is also an issue (wish I knew this prior).

Pros

-Air conditioned building. -Computer chairs to sit in during work.

Cons

-Upper management and above is abysmal. I had 6 managers over the course of 3 years of working there. "Organizational change ups", firings and just walking out, seem to happen routinely due to the rot at the top. -Management outright lied about co-workers and my performance in our yearly reviews as an excuse to deem our positions as obsolete and then the company laid us off. -Lots of detrimental policies for lower level employees including the "pay differentials" and will gladly underpay mid level employees while consistently stacking more responsibilities on you. -Non-first shift employees are consistently ignored and disregarded despite most of them having longer tenure then the revolving door of employees on 1st shift. -Company leadership likes to demand mandatory overtime for Electronic Assemblers way too often resulting in slumps of work where they'll "offer" unpaid time off. -Company is also hyper reactive and volatile when trying to meet demand. Including laying off the majority of a third shift when work got slow, to then mass hiring for all shifts nearly doubling low level employees including a weekend shift about a year after cutting the 3rd shift, that has now been dwindled back down to similar employment levels only 8 months later.
