Cons

Many co-works are out of country and out of state

Cons

Ineffective communication between departments
Ineffective Quality Control
Low production standards
Management only cares about meeting deadlines
Office space is not conducive to happiness at workplace, very outdated sense of employee satisfaction i.e NO WINDOWS, old conference rooms, small outside area, cafeteria space is so bland with vending machines and unhealthy options, no gym or gym membership help, desk space is often dusty, this is not a place that you see and wish you could work there. No sense of company culture or community.

Cons

Heavily fortified silos in a matrix environment with shared resources and competing priorities; nature of the industry if you want to stay in business. Also very risk adverse; if you do not check all the customers' boxes for labor category requirements, years of experience unlikely encourage management to ask customers' consideration.

Cons

Extreme turnover including most senior management. No one I know still works there. They've all quit or fallen victim to the numerous RIFs. Fairly toxic work environment.

Cons

Add more PTO time. Splitting up PTO into vacation and sick time really sucked, now only 2 weeks of actual vacation time a year. Certainly not a selling point when trying to attract new talent.

There are still a couple departments that are headed by people who think it's them vs the world. On the up side I think this mentality has been on the decline.

I think there's a super high level of competitiveness at the C-level which can be good, however I see it really hurt other locations. Some locations are so focused on winning and end up creating a really toxic work environment that creates a cyclical pattern, and then they're left wondering how they got into their current mess.

Cons

This company couldn't win new business if their life depended on it! As a matter of fact, they haven't won any new business in a long time! You wonder why the parent company keeps a division that is under-performing. It's more important to management to have their Salesforce updated rather than to sell something. My advice would be to look for a company that knows how to be much more competitive and knows how to win new business!

Cons

Industry can be too competetive

Cons

More work than people and difficult to find experienced workers

Cons

Cut throat, uncaring and clueless management, no upward potential, layoffs, years of service and dedication do not matter. Just wait for axe to fall on next group and hope you are not in that group

Cons

401k match every 6 months is a bit of a downer. Pay isn't as high as expected
