Pros

- Good coworkers and good shift schedules (potential for lots of time off) if you're hourly - Nothing if you are salary

Cons

We just had our second round of layoffs since June. This time we lost 10 % of our people on paper and the personnel at Pilot got the choice of working at Mega Ranch or not having a job. Nice. And this after the President said we wouldn't have layoffs again this year. The important thing to remember is they received funding the same time as both of these layoffs. Guess it didn't last long since here we are again. One senior member of operations got fired, but very few other senior personnel were fired. Which is interesting since they set the strategy for the company and are responsible for our financial performance. If we're trying to save money, fire Senior Management. Don't fire R&D personnel at Pilot. Ironically, they are actually your most cost efficient employees because you've always paid under market rates for those positions. Fire some people making $150K and up. How many Directors/VPs do we have at the company? How many do we actually need? Sprouts and Whole Foods are your only real customers by volume. Note for everyone reading reviews, you're not seeing reviews by people getting laid off. At this point, we're around 50 people. That should tell you what type of agreements are being signed by personnel to get their severance payouts. And the reviews are still this bad. Don't come work here.
