    Good experience, horribly run company

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    -Good experience no matter what field you’re in -Company events, monthly food trucks, paid trainings for some depts, discounts on cars -Fun level depends on your department. Some are alright, some are nightmares. Mine was ok which made coming into work easier. Still have to deal with awful depts sometimes

    Cons

    -HORRIBLY run company -“Merger” is more like a hostile takeover -Too many managers, not enough actual production workers -Again, it depends on your departments. You’ll be able to figure that out very quickly. -and to the person that reviewed and said she was told not to laugh, it’s because her laugh is like a dying hyena shrieking into a foghorn. Not pleasant.

    Pros

    Company is growing so there is job security. Everyone is very nice and helpful. No one looks down on you for asking questions.

    Since I am a contractor, some of the people I contract with can be very disagreeable. The go-to answer to all problems is "its your fault" even before any troubleshooting has been done.
