Pros

The people there are great to work with. All management is my department is very flexible when employees need time off. Anytime an employee needs help finding where to go to get the job done, management steps in and helps assist in finding out where to get the correct answers. It's a very laid back community in our department. Everyone is extremely friends and willing to help each other out. We're a fairly new department and everyone has been willing to lend a helping hand anytime a newer employee needs help. Overall it's a great place to work.

Cons

The biggest downside that we see, as employees, is the fact that since our department is a newer department - most of the lower level management doesn't know what the HR policies are and are therefore unsure of how to reprimand their employees. If employees are consistently late, they're not sure how they can handle it. The downside to that is that management in charge of the lower management doesn't seem too worried with the little things like tardiness and such & they don't realize how it brings employee moral down. It's something that definitely needs worked on.

Pros

Job only as good as immediate manager. Salary is Ok ish Benefit options are ok not great.

Cons

1) Retaliation is a way of life at this company going back to 2018 and becoming worse since 2) Mid level managers are very efficient at passively insulting the Teams they are responsible for. 3) It is nearly impossible to advance in the company. 4) When you try to post to another department - your Mid level manager will do the best to stop you from advancing. Some have close friends in HR that will even have you submit a new application in an attempt to accuse the other department of recruiting you. I have experienced this. 5) The only way to increase pay and experience is by leaving the company. 6) It use to be a culture of lets help others when there is a problem, now it is lets find who to blame for upper mangers rushing a project before all risks are identified. 7) If you are taking a new Job - professionally push for higher Salary once you are in raises will be very small.
