Pros

I would recommend Skills as a decent starting place for someone who is seeking a first time job. Get acquainted with what it's like to hold a job, develop some bullets for your resume, and get the heck out of dodge. Kudos to the Wellness program. It was always evolving and engaging in my time there.

Cons

The management team was out of control. Words and phrases that come to mind include nepotism, favoritism, greed, and abuse of power. Pay was mediocre unless you sat as a member of the management team (or were referred by one of them).

Pros

The people on the shop floor are great to work with.

Cons

Upper management. If you aren’t a member of the friends and family plan, watch out. People get hired because of who they are related to and keep their jobs even if they are inept and toxic to work with. There are some wild things that are allowed to happen because of who is related to whom. Upper management is toxic. Yelling, screaming and demeaning are often used as motivation for supervisors. Theory X? Very much. Does it have a place in today’s workforce? It shouldn’t. I wish I could leave. Upper management that isn’t actively yelling and screaming are just as guilty as they watch it happen but don’t say anything to stop it. They all get paid really well to stay subservient. But shop floor employees that live pay check to paycheck can “get a second job” if they want more money. Everyone is afraid of one person.
