Pros

During my time, I noticed a troubling pattern: leadership frequently resorted to layoffs as a quick fix to meet quarterly financial targets or appease investors, rather than addressing deeper structural or strategic inefficiencies. These decisions often came with little transparency or foresight, creating a culture of uncertainty and low morale across teams. Until the company adopts a more thoughtful and strategic approach to workforce management, I would caution potential employees to weigh the risk of instability — especially in times of market pressure or organizational change.

Cons

The lack of accountability, transparency, and strategic HR leadership is not just disappointing — it's detrimental to the company culture and long-term success. A complete restructuring or replacement of the current HR staff may be necessary to rebuild trust, establish fair practices, and align the department with the company’s stated values. Until then, I would caution potential hires and leadership to be aware of these challenges.

Pros

- Good benefits - Easy training - They strive to understand how to get someone to their fullest potential

Cons

- No concrete track for promotion, to the point that it seemed impossible - They will not listen to their workers - Management on-site and higher up are very lazy - They will expect you to do the work that they schedule, even if it is impossible to complete - From the perspective of my role in quality control, it seemed impossible to make management, and also production in general, understand the time it takes for certain procedures and tests to be completed and reviewed. - Our entire site is getting shut down, and they are just now ramping up production to meet quotas and schedules. While, at the same time, keeping our severance estimations as vague as possible. - Low to no incentivization for anything
