Pros

Monday through Friday work week.

Cons

Apart from company parties, you only see SLT higher ups during audits. No bonuses awarded after exceeding revenue goals for two months straight. Cleanliness of buildings need major improvements. No room for growth even when performing other duties not listed in the job description. Cross training to keep people overworked and underpaid while many work from home. No consistency in product requirements to maintain product specifications clear cut. Time and attendance PTO only applies to specific departments, not across the board. Constant layoffs increase work for already struggling departments.

Pros

Opportunities to grow and cross-train. Salary is fairly competitive.

Cons

Favoritism was highly a big problem. You can see unqualified people move up just because they are "cool" with management. Consequently, you can easily get type casted and stuck in a lower paying role. You will work harder because people constantly call out and you won't be recognized. People walked around with their heads down since the two layoffs. Job security was unpredictable.

Pros

There is no pros at all.

Cons

1. Pay: Not competitive with industry standards. Good performance does not equate to raises or promotions. 2. HR Transparency: Lacking clear communication on policies and pay scales. They are negligent and do not care about the employees. 3. Pay Scales: Inconsistent and not aligned with experience or role. 4. Upper Management: Lack of accountability and slow to address employee concerns. 5. Tons of layoffs: I never feel secure at work. Anyone can be fired at anytime for any reason it seems.
