Pros

Company is extremely driven and focused on operational excellence and maximizing profit. Best routes to advancement are through Sales/Marketing (driving profit through price and sales) and Supply Chain/Operations (driving profit through lowering product input costs and inventory levels). You will learn outstanding principles for running a business for maximum profit.

Cons

If you are not 100% focused on and motivated by generating maximum performance and maximum profit you may not find a lot job satisfaction here. Hitting your numbers and continuously improving them quarter after quarter is the singular objective here. If you are looking for touchy feely "softer" rewards from your work, look elsewhere.....

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.
