Pros

Benefits are good Gain experience in Microsoft (Excel, Outlook, Power point, Word) bloom bucks are given when an employee is found doing something out of their scope. those 'bucks' are used as money to buy company goodies. at times was a fun environment to be in

Cons

work load can vary it can either be really heavy or really slow, which is okay but usually it all falls on the lead to maintain all that work load. supervisors do nothing but have meetings and sit at their desk. leads are asked to work on Yamazumi and time studies even when the work load is heavy as is. inventory is never correct, it makes counting material and shipping material nearly impossible and we are often are blamed for material not being where it is supposed to be. accountability for actions and accountability for material inaccuracy. almost always we were targeted as the people who refuses to hand material to other teams but inventory was always accounted for before leaving location. this is how inventory becomes challenging to keep up with due to inventory being pulled and shipped again. its unorganized and uncoordinated. this company does not work great together, there is no such thing as team work or working together on projects. it often ends in corp. arguments and nasty disagreements. no idea is a good idea or a good idea is often taken from an employee.

Pros

A mature start up feel. No two days are the same, lots of interesting projects to work on and given the opportunity to have an impact The people are a highlight. Teams are collaborative, driven, and full of smart individuals who are genuinely invested in what they’re building. There’s a strong sense of ownership, and you’re given the opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way regardless of level.

Cons

There really are not any major cons so far. It is 5 days in office. And whilst I am local and enjoy coming in a little flexibility would be nice. That said there's a great gym, good restaurant and free EV charging so I like being here!

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.
