Pros
Everyone is kind & nice. Hohos every Friday. Decent bonuses. If you’re full time, you definitely reap the rewards. Free lunches (if you’re lucky enough to work day shift). Yearly give back concert.
Kontras
Where do I start? Management and leadership are ATROCIOUS! Most of the people within the company know one another. The issue with this is that upper management is too friendly with their subordinates as in they’ve been to each other’s weddings and have weekly wine nights. This leads to a conflict of interest because when employees raise major concerns over supervisors, the managers will always side with their “friend” even if most of the employees complain. Forget about upper management. The site head talks non stop about tequila. They say to voice your concerns, but you will be punished. HR is a joke as well—they are only there for the company. Also, contract workers get zero benefits even though they do more work than full time/senior level employees. Behind closed doors, I’ve witnessed supervisors belittle their subordinates, cussing at them, calling their subordinates idiots, threatening their jobs, etc. Back in 2013, the site hired around 300ish people to bring that new plant up, and look what the company did as a repayment: they laid off 200 full time employees without justification and 100 contract workers. They called people at 3-5am to inform them not to come in and even pulled people out of car pools to check their lists. What a catastrophe! We lost a lot of good people because some power hungry people in leadership had personal vendettas against certain people. Like I said, it’s a fantastic company of which I’m proud to be a part of, but leadership needs a clean sweep big time!
