Great benefits but be wary of hiring promises

Qc technician

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Overall, it’s a really good company—probably some of the best benefits in the industry, and that’s one of the main reasons I chose to work here.

Cons

My advice to anyone considering it: be careful about the promises you’re made during the hiring process. Make sure everything is put in writing, and make sure it’s exact—your position, job description, responsibilities, and what is expected of you. Things can change. If the person who hired you leaves or moves on, the person who replaces them may see things differently and change everything. That can include doing away with the position you were hired for and moving you into a completely different role—one you may have never left your previous job to take in the first place.

Positive relationships overshadowed by declining morale and communication

Mechanic

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The work relationships I’ve created with drivers and other co-workers and outside sales persons. When we can freely work our strengths, it’s unmatchable and a joy.

Cons

Management has lost the plot. Over the last 4 months open communication has dropped. Family doesn’t feel like it matters the way it did, even a year ago. Morale itself is feeling squeezed out. Internal politics runs rampant. I’m hearing similar complaints of the same from others. Communication, micro-management & drama. Many of us miss our work space as it was.
