Pros

Pay is higher than average, good work life balance for some.

Cons

Managers treat employees like furniture, constantly changing from hiring to laying off, no control or say in decision making, lack of appreciation, competitive environment pits employees against each other, management is constantly off-shoring or contracting to foreign employees, lack of opportunity for advancement despite educational benefits.

Pros

Work-life balance has been great at the Long Beach site. My coworkers are very considerate and supportive. Benefits suck as parental leave and 401k, Roth 401k, and mega backdoor Roth make it so you can really get ahead in terms of retirement building. They are trying to get better in culture and performance rather than some companies that don’t even pretend to care. During the pandemic there was no training. Now there’s some!

Cons

Base pay can be slightly lower than other companies for specific skills. Each site and each organization within each site has its own culture depending on who is the VP/executive team. There are so many executives it’s hard to get things done. Things move very slowly.
