Pros

The people and culture are great. I really like the people within the organization. Strong belief in work life balance. I like their concern, sensitivity and acknowledgment to social and global issues, and that they try to find ways to support them. You can speak up without fear of retaliation. Management listens to the employees and tried to find ways to make improvements. There is room to grow and they prefer to promote from within the organization. Benefits are good. In terms of corporate culture it’s the best places I’ve ever worked.

Cons

The compensation is really low. Well below average. It is something they are looking to improve. They do not account for cost of living. A lot of people have left in the last year due to low pay. I do still see gender pay gap discrepancies. Marketing is very out of touch with the sales force and what’s going on in the field. Sales requirements change every year, which is frustrating. You’ll spend more time ticking a box to appease investors than you will actually selling something.

Pros

Plenty of great, passionate coworkers who work hard and collaborate. I had a lot of professional flexibility and my job was always interesting. Process teams on the manufacturing floor is a great system. Offsite resources, especially technical experts, are great.

Cons

Expect to be firefighting constantly and frequently fighting against an aging facility and outdated processes. No unified vision or clear prioritization from management. Misalignment between site leadership and upper/off-site management created sustained operational friction and stress for employees. Leadership turnover was frequent, contributing to ongoing instability. Because of all this, there was a super low morale and a feeling of widespread fatigue. Inconsistent communication and decision-making standards contributed to a low-trust culture, including regular informal discussion of colleagues and unprofessional and sometimes intimidating behavior in meetings. Performance feedback and perceived value were highly dependent on shifting leadership dynamics rather than consistent, objective criteria. Employees could move from being strongly supported to heavily criticized with little change in actual performance. Although a nine-box review process was supposedly used, individual outcomes were not transparently shared with employees. Onboarding and training for specialized roles were underdeveloped. Compensation was just fine for workload and scope of responsibility.
