You're pretty much stuck where you are, the spot you're in is the spot you're in.
Good-old-boy network.
They pretend to care about their people, but when it comes down to brass tacks you're just another number on the roster for them to toss out when they're done with you. Regardless of how many years you put in or how hard you worked.
This company is on the uptick but they won't reinvest the profits into their employees. Greedy. Medical insurance is horrible, overtime is limited because they're cheap, they expect miracles on last minute jobs though, straight time. Merit increases are a joke, I used to work at places where 8-10% was common, here you're lucky to get 2%. That stunt they pulled with "realigning the pay periods" was a great week, we all worked for free!
Morale is horrible, they expect miracles from everyone yet they don't give you the right tools or support to do the job. There is zero accountability anywhere and when something goes wrong people just shrug and don't seem to care. On to the next disaster project. The system is broken and they keep putting bandaids on stuff that just breaks something else, then they wonder why everything is broken.
We're "essential" but aren't treated like we are. During covid, they were real quick to throw you out when you had a sniffle, but only pay you one round of PTO for it. And if they think you were near someone who might have been near someone who might have been near someone who had a false positive, the next round of quarantine was on you. No pay...symptoms or not. They only follow the science that fits their desired narrative. Anything to save a dollar.
