Pros

Good benefits and pay, nice people.

Cons

Will always ask for way more than what’s expected of your role. Tons of internal drama and toxic behavior. Days spend in bs meetings back to back to back with no time left to do any of the actual work required for my role. If you don’t over extend yourself for our side of work activities like happy hour or volunteering then your seen as an outsider. Unless you’re ready to have your coworkers as your only friends outside of work and knowing every single personal detail about you and your life then I would stay away. Always looking to stir up drama instead of focusing on the actual work or performance.

Pros

Good fringe benefits. Above average insurance.

Cons

Very toxic work environment. Company promotes work life balance however meetings are scheduled during lunch and at 5:00pm. People are made to stand in daily plant meetings, no chairs in the rooms. Particularly hard on shop floor staff who work 12hr shifts. I NEVER had time to take a lunch hour the entire time I worked there. Phone calls at home daily/nightly(middle of the night) and almost every day every weekend as OTLs are poorly trained. Company promotes inclusion however Americans are bullied particularly by hispanics within the company. Company touts multiculturalism but does no training on dealing with other cultures. Entire plant Planning staff turned over in less than 2 years. Very stressful work environment cause by high-school like drama by LT. Managers are routinely put in PEP for issues months after they occur. No support whatsoever from Planning manager, HR or Leadership Team. Training is ALL online, when asked LT for help with SAP questions...response was to GOOGLE it. Direct manager was initially a STA with major inflated sense of self. Final manager was novice at managing people and very childish. Again, very toxic work environment overall.
