Pros

Good pay & decent 401k. But not worth the trouble

Cons

Management works remotely Thursday and Friday. • Management arrives between 11 a.m. and noon Monday through Wednesday and is often unavailable. • Management takes days to months to respond to some inquiries. You have to follow up repeatedly, which contradicts company policy, but they are not held to the same standard. • Management shows clear favoritism, which affects decisions and team dynamics. • Management does not handle HR matters consistently or seriously, especially when it involves their preferred employees. • Compliance responsibilities are not shared. You manage every step from start to finish with minimal support. • Field workers focus on production, not compliance. The company treats compliance as secondary. • Project managers lack proper training on compliance processes. • All compliance-related issues are routed to you. Upper management provides no direct help. • Leadership delegates simple administrative tasks that they could handle themselves, such as messaging staff or summarizing emails. • Management has limited awareness of active compliance work or project status.
