Pros

CEO with proven track records of success; Brand-new, second to none facility

Cons

One common theme been: career advancement is a joke; terrible attrition rate; Favoritism, Bullying, Intimidation; nepotism runs rampant; “Keep promotions equitable and fair throughout, no more golden children”. Are we better now? Post-merger integration brought extra layers of management, at higher pay grades plus flexible work arrangements; others must work long hours at lower grades and learn how to develop emotional intelligence.

Pros

Very supportive team and management to work with from the beginning. Many training classes need to be taken in moving forward to align with the company policies and technical procedures. Good benefits and competitive salary. Have a very positive plan for long term career and educational support tuition. The interview and hiring process are long but informative and responded promptly.

Cons

There are many training classes to take so it may put more stress on a new hire if you do not have a good plan.

Pros

Everyone is willing to help and the training is actually good training

Cons

If I didn’t know someone that worked since I was going to overnights I didn’t really meet anyone on my team except my manager once. Also I wouldn’t know who to reach out like manger wise if I didn’t know someone who already worked here
