Pros

Good pay for Memphis (if you're coming from other parts of the country then it's ok) Really nice gym with great trainers Office is very modern but distracting.

Cons

Lazy employees Terrible management Definitely a good old boy connection (especially for Ole Miss graduates) Not from Memphis but i hear that school name come up a lot. Not a competitive environment, you're only as good as the gossip you bring. Antiquated IT systems make your job a nightmare if you're one of the few people trying to actually do your work. Had 2 lay-offs the last 2 years at the Memphis facility so morale is completely dead. No one is doing any work because they're worried about the next lay-off and no one really cares. No investment is skills improvement or growth. I am so glad I didn't recommend this company to any of my friends. They would hate me.

Pros

The PTO benefits are excellent and available from the start of employment. There is a consistent workflow across all shifts, providing steady work opportunities. SNN offers a strong support system both on and off the floor, creating a positive work environment. Additionally, the company’s 401(k) program is one of the best I’ve encountered, including a generous employer matching contribution.

Cons

At this time, I have no concerns or suggestions for improvement. My experience has been very positive, and things have been going well overall.
