Fun environment with great pay but low retention issues - Autonomous Vehicle Operator Zoox Employee Review

Fun environment with good people.

The job can be repetitive.

The tech is cool and there are passionate workers making it happen

Negligent management, basically asking for burn out which seems to be on par with their parent company's model. Safety? Yeah, sure I guess. Dangling, exposed wires, unsanitary bathroom conditions, and being told "you don't have to be here" when bringing up genuine concerns. We're all adults here yet they seem motivated to treat you like children in a boarding school. I know 10+ individuals with years experience in the AV space who left less than a year into being onboarded. What a waste of resources. I was flown out for training, didn't get my flight ticket until a literal hour before departure after blowing up HR and local leadership (none of which responded or checked in after the fact). Borderline illegal, heck who am I kidding, straight up illegal OSHA violations at the depots. Scheduled less than 6 hours between shifts (hello??? Do we want an incident). Also, being a contractor is a joke. You never know where you stand, managers report you to the contractor before ever telling you anything. Straight nerve racking conditions. If it means anything, I have turned down two recruiters offering twice my current salary (ouch) because it meant I'd have to work for Zoox and their horrible management again.
