Upper management makes terrible business decisions, and then places the blame on the workforce, especially sales. Obviously they had a record breaking year in 2020, but sales can't always be through the roof like this. Buying up more warehouse space, ethenol plants, and the desire to continually go green set the company back so far, they did workforce reductions multiple times per year beginning in 2021 to make up for it. When the workforce is cut, remaining employees are expected to "pitch in" and "do your part" for the better of the company, but that means added stress and being overworked. People aren't feeling like part of the family when they aren't getting competitive raises, bonuses are cut due to "low sales" and poor business decisions. Ultimately, the company has either cut a lot of good folks or many of us have left due to the current conditions. Their new "transparent pay" grades are ridiculous, as they basically tell you they're only paying you 75-85% of the midpoint for that role, when the midpoint is questionable compared to that of similar roles at other companies. I would not recommend working here.
