Good pay, bad management.

Machine operator

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people are nice, the pay is great, the benefits are great and cover a lot, multiple shifts to bid on.

Cons

Management either doesn't know what they're doing or they do and screw us over on purpose. Poor work/life balance. Overtime is mandatory and because they're constantly low on staff you get stuck working 5 12hr days plus an 8hr shift on the weekend. Can't leave the property on your break. There's also lots of favoritism towards the people on 1st shift.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay and bonuses. Work not stressful.

Cons

Operators work mainly in a standing cell environment. Most holidays allocated to set shut down periods in August and December. Internal promotion based heavily on favouritism.

Good Place to Work - But Very Stressful!

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Mission focused with fantastic products. Great benefits, hard working employees who care about the impact their work has on the greater good in the world. CEO is on track for building a world-class medical services organization.

Cons

Mid-level Management is not always the best. People are promoted when they shouldn't be, others are not promoted when they should be. If you're a "ladder climber" and know how to "sell" yourself, you will probably get promoted. To me, many of these people are over selling their abilities, and end up being really bad managers. Over works the employees - taking on more than is feasible in very unrealistic timelines.
