Decent place for a "job", but a poor option for a "career"
Pros
Ewie is a decent company to work for. All of my direct managers have been wonderful people. There is also a wealth of knowledge available once meet some others within the company. Very stable. I feel that I have strong job security.
Cons
Raises, bonuses, and other compensation are lacking. 2-2.5% yearly raises just don't keep up with inflation. It also feels like they try everything they can to justify not giving you your full potential bonus. Lastly, the PTO scale is misleading. Talking to quite a few people both within, and outside of the company, the handbook makes it seem like you earn a third year of PTO after working here for three years. But as it turns out, you don't get an additional week of PTO until you've started your fifth year of employment. Upper management also offers very little support to site management. My original manager spent months begging for assistance with a uncooperative customer. We were just told to keep trying. Then when the end of the year came our bonuses were punished due to all the issues we tried to get support with.
