Pros

Great 401k plan. Plenty of chances to get overtime. You will have job if you keep your mouth closed and come to work.

Cons

Upper management is very rude. There is very little guidance or leadership. Most of the people in the front office have no idea what is happening on the floor. They put people in positions who have no clue about that area. They are always making up new positions for people. They expect you to train people who haven't worked for the company as long as you to be your boss. Totally different company now. Can't see myself retiring here.

Pros

My early experience at the company was positive and I was able to build strong tenure there.

Cons

I worked here for several years, but my experience changed significantly toward the end of my tenure. During my notice period, previously approved time off was not honored, and my departure schedule was adjusted in a way that felt inconsistent with prior approvals. Despite preparing coverage and training for my responsibilities, I was later described as leaving my team “high and dry.” There was also a shift toward a more structured, closely managed environment, along with a return-to-office policy that was applied differently across employees. It was a reminder that the end of an employee’s experience often reflects the culture just as much as the beginning.
