Pros

- The average associate has been with the company over 10 years - management is reactive not proactive - IF you like OT....... they definitely have it available

Cons

- it's like working with your mom/dad since folks have been working their for so long - you HAVE to be a self starter........ not a lot of training happening - small facility so there are very few opportunities available to grow unless someone retires/ gets sick/ or points out

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
