Pros

I would say benefits, so if you die AT WORK, your family might be taken care of.

Cons

People have DIED AT WORK at our Bacchus facility, and the company response is callous, cold-hearted, and the most traumatic experience I have ever had at work. Management refuses to say who died, while they have an offsite for two days talking about who died, what they were like, and who their families were. They have made grieving a class issue so that only management gets to go to the viewing, talk about who died, or take time off. Employees are fully expected to continue working as normal and we're pressured to just suck it up. This company does not care if you die. We've also had multiple contractor deaths, which they don't talk about. Also, multiple safety issues. Also, an overall toxic, misogynistic, racist culture. Pretty much the worst, most abusive, exploitive, toxic place I have ever worked. Save yourself your sanity. You might not make it out alive. No job is worth that.

Pros

Not much pros but talented coworkers.

Cons

I joined expecting a long-term career and initially had a positive experience. Unfortunately, the culture changed significantly after leadership transitions. Micromanagement increased, decision-making became highly centralized, and employee morale steadily declined. Many experienced employees and managers left during my time there, making it difficult to maintain continuity and trust within the organization. The work itself was meaningful, and I had the opportunity to support important projects with talented colleagues. However, recognition, career growth, and employee retention did not appear to receive the same level of attention as process, reporting, and management oversight. My layoff was communicated as unrelated to performance, which was appreciated. However, after years of contribution and institutional knowledge, the overall experience left me feeling that employees were viewed as replaceable rather than valued long-term assets.
