Pros

Great location. Beautiful work environment. Great small company to start at to learn how a business is run. Very nice people to work with. Great benefits. Adequate compensation.

Cons

Decisions are passed down without adequately understanding the consequences of the decisions. Too many layers of management and not enough resources. Upper management likes to micro manage middle management and they do not engage with the employees beneath them, except for middle management. Middle management does not manage unless pressure from upper management prompts them to. There is some promotability but the structure and outcome often doesn't make sense. There is zero work life balance, for most. The company is lean and no one has a back-up. You will work every vacation and sick day. Job descriptions do not match roles you will preform and if an employee leaves, their work will be given to you as the company goes leaner.

Pros

Positive experiences come from direct coworkers in the plant. They are professional, talented, and supportive, despite the payroll failures.

Cons

The company has a history of significant pay errors resulting in systemic wage theft. A substantial payroll discrepancy was recently confirmed by management, but after months of delays, the company has refused to issue the corrective back pay. Corporate provides zero transparency and operates with a profound disregard for employees legally entitled compensation Employees are forced to spend significant personal time auditing their own paychecks, creating an environment of mistrust and financial stress. It’s concerning when local management views paying employees correctly as luck or generosity. it’s compliance with California law. Fair pay is a right, not a reward.
