Cons

-1% 401k match -Health insurance is pricey -Management doesn't appreciate/value good employees. -Upper management micro-manages supervisors instead of trusting and letting them do their job. -Employees are underpaid compared to other departments, but there's enough money for an airplane.

Pros

Half day Fridays Some coworkers are hardworking and supportive despite difficult conditions. Stable company in terms of business operations.

Cons

No cost-of-living raises, even during periods of high inflation. Promotions are inconsistent and seem to favor newer or younger employees, while long-term employees are routinely overlooked. Pay is well below industry standards for the workload and level of responsibility expected. There is little to no transparency about how performance is measured or how employees can advance. Management often dismisses concerns about unfair workload distribution. Discrimination and favoritism appear to play a role in advancement opportunities, creating a demoralizing work environment. Raises are minimal (typically around 3% or less), even when workloads increase significantly.
