Pros

Employees are highly skilled with a good work ethic. Excellent engineering capabilities. Coworkers were great.

Cons

Inadequate executive leadership (at least when I worked there). Senior management should be more employee centric. Layoffs happen too frequently. Location is a bit of a con since most employees have a long commute.

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.
