Pros

The people who work on the floor where the main production happens are truly great people. They work for continuous long hours either or their feet or sitting in their chair. Very exhausting. You can go brain dead so quickly here, but I find a lot of workers here have an uplifting energy and spirit that propels them to work hard each and every day. On another note, there are a few corrupt souls here who lie and point fingers. And others who know better, and yet still turn the other cheek just so the paychecks can keep on coming. You know who you are.

Cons

Greedy. They treat their coworkers very unkindly, especially for those who have been with them the longest. They find any reason, any excuse to fire them after being with the company for over 15, 20+ years because those people have the best benefits. And since they're greedy, the company can just hire new temps to take over and pay them way less than what they had spent on the other now ex-employee. Then everyone is scared to say anything in fear that they may lose their job. And those people working, bless their souls, have families that depend on them to come through. Many of these people do not have a higher education, are immigrants or first generations here, and yet they are looked down upon. They work so hard to do what no one else wants to do.

Pros

There are many non-traditional benefits that help with work life balance. The company’s brand and global reach are undeniable and reinforce the company’s compelling Mission.

Cons

People are expected to deliver above-average results with below-average processes. The stock’s performance has earned this pressure, but there is no obvious, quick path to improvement. Your experience in that corporate environment will depend on your supervisor either being a leader or a manager.
