Pros

Business students looking for a good case study in how not to run a company have a perfect opportunity here. Product is good and will eventually cause some benefit to earth.

Cons

Amount of dust accumulated by licking your Boss's feet is the only criterion considered during appraisals. Wondering do they still call it Performance Appraisals ? There is no employee empowerment so even though you might have been hired because of your expertise, they don't actually want you to use it. If you ask a questions, you are out rightly branded as "negative" and that incident is the basis for all the future communications and decisions. Feedback is absolutely destructive.

Pros

- great work culture (besides a few negative people) - surrounded by growing team - competitive pay

Cons

- wishy washy with decision-making - management will make requests, you will complete work, and then there is no follow thru when you hand stuff up to higher ups

Pros

Great technology and programs in place when utilize correctly. I’m really digging deep trying to find the positives, but it’s hard.

Cons

No leadership or direction you can never find a supervisor or a lead when you have a problem, no air-conditioning in half of the warehouse where all the employees actually work it’s actually the other side that’s currently being remodeled for another production line that has air-conditioning, you are led to believe this is a great company to grow with and at but you quickly realize it is actually the complete opposite of everything they tell you in training, no one pays any attention to what is going on so if you are a good hard worker that shows up on time everyday, ready to work and you cannot because the tools to do your job are missing and you have to spend the next hour looking for someone to tell it easily gets overlooked and old real fast. They have three job recruitment agencies on site with 4 time clocks all right next to each other so clocking in and out is torture. They also seem to have a rodent problem because there are mice in the locker room eating the lunch/food we bring. Between the dust, free flow chemicals, and fiberglass particles that are everywhere in there and get all over everything so naturally I was shocked when I blow my nose and it’s all black and grey snot that comes out.
