Pros

Cool projects. 9/80 schedule. Decent benefits.

Cons

Toxic management. Old boys club mentality. Burn out culture. Resistant to change. Unlimited PTO is not unlimited and you are made to feel guilty for using PTO and penalized for exceeding 20 days. Management targets workers and plays favorites. Open mocking of other employees based on knowledge they shouldnt have. Very clicky, kinda like high-school. Located and in the absolute middle of no-where Florida. Those that have been there a long time only stay there because they live near by. Under market value for salary. Care more about optics than productivity. Set unrealistic timelines, workers are penalized for not making them but management is never held to the same standard. Everyone plays the blame game instead of owning up to their actions.

Pros

Just Good benefits, that’s it

Cons

The work environment in the supply chain department has become increasingly toxic and difficult to navigate. Leadership issues, micromanagement, and poor communication have negatively impacted morale and employee retention. Several experienced and hardworking employees have left due to the culture and lack of support from management. There appears to be a strong imbalance of power within leadership, where certain individuals have excessive influence over decisions without accountability. Employees who bring independent ideas or challenge processes do not seem to be valued, creating an environment where people feel pressured to simply comply rather than contribute meaningfully. Unfortunately, this has led to low morale, slow progress, and frustration among staff. The company has potential, but significant leadership and cultural changes would be needed to improve the workplace environment.
