Pros

– Learned a lot about packaging – Team of talented engineers and account managers trying to survive the culture

Cons

The president regularly used intimidation and public humiliation as a “motivation” tactic. Emails were laced with pressure, threats, and emotional manipulation — including tying future compensation to blind compliance. Dissent wasn’t tolerated. Cons – Emotionally abusive leadership – Empty promises and revoked promotions – Gaslighting framed as mentorship – Retaliation disguised as “organizational decisions” – Micromanagement and fear-based management style

Pros

If you are driven, want to learn and grow, you will succeed in your role. Great pay and benefits. Growth potential is huge

Company expectations are high for employees- Maybe could use more training and growing their employees to be capable of more.

Pros

Most people are nice to work with and there's camaraderie because everyone hates their job.

Cons

People will throw you under the bus to avoid getting in trouble themselves. Communication is terrible, and management is narcissistic and unorganized. Constant yelling and swearing at employees, employees yelling at each other because they're getting yelled at by management, just awful all around. Constant changes to pay structure, no room for upwards mobility or decent promotions. Company culture is non-existent. Everyone talks about each other behind their backs, rushes out of the office the moment they can, and morale is just awful. The CEO is a narcissist who speaks badly about people without college degrees and thinks he's always the smartest person in the room, even though he's not. There's a culture of heavy drinking because everyone hates their jobs and their life, and they talk about it constantly. Turnover is high because all the good people leave as soon as they can. Believe all the low star reviews, those are accurate. The highly rated ones are all obviously written by management. You might be able to make decent money there, but you can make better money with better working conditions basically anywhere else.
