Pike County Operations - LRSS

Business Outlook

Pros

People minus managers and above and HR. Assemblers are like anywhere, you get a mixed bag of really great workers to people who are there taking up space. Overall the job and the people make it a good experience.

Cons

Managers, Sr Managers, and HR are all in bed with each other and produce a very toxic environment. If you get into any of the other programs, I believe you have a good chance of having a great experience, but if you fall into the LRSS realm, you are in for a rough time unless you enjoy being a yes person.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits and interesting work.

Cons

Was promised hybrid work on the preliminary recruiter interview, the HM interview, and it was also written on the offer letter. Come to find out within my 2nd week that I'm expected to be on-site 100% with mandatory overtime when needed. No way.

Business Outlook

Pros

4 day week and that's about it.

Cons

Pay increases every year does not match inflation rate or cola. There is no way to move upward in the company. They pay as little as they possible can.
