Pros
Not very many. The odd nice person aside, there's very little to be happy about. I'm struggling here so i'll go for...er....errrm....i'll get back to you.
Cons
HAAS and the company i work for (which is a division of it, having been bought over) seem to specialise in employing people with little to no discernible intellect. Promotions are gifted on favouritism (as mentioned about in abother review) and management are scared to enforce rules across the board. Instead they are allowed to cherry pick and dish out disciplinary action based on who they like and don't like. The people in positions of seniority have backstabbed, insulted and @rselicked their way to the top, and remain there by bullying and victimising the staff below them. This has happened to myself on several occasions, and others, yet NOTHING has ever been done about it, EVEN THOUGHT IT'S BEEN REPORTED. Other occasions of bullying and threats of violence have been met by management suggestig you should "punch back". A manager advocating the use of violence in an office environment to settle what was effectively a case of bullying. I could sit here, for days and days and days, and go through every facet of this joke company - every iota of it true - and it would shock you to your core. The business world is a ruthless and harsh environment but it shouldn't be absolved of the expectation of taking care of, providing for and being loyal to the staff that work hard, for rubbish pay, and have stayed loyal to a company for many years. There are little to no promotional opportuntiies and the company shys away from sending people on courses to improve in their role. The status quo, of old dogs of war and backward business acumen remain in power due to circling the wagons and culling anyone who stands up to their lickspittle and mealy-mouthed ways. Open displays of racism have been experienced , and of sexism too, and to say the company was rife with bigots would be only touching on the truth. Due to poor decisions over many years, poor ability, low intellect and nasty, vitriolic bullying have been allowed to become rife in almost every corner which has resulted in people who DO NOT HAVE THE ABILITY, SENSE, LOGIC OR WHEREWITHAL to correctly complete the roles they have been gifted to an acceptable level but years of brown-nosing mean that upper management, mainly from HAAS, are too blind to any of this. Ultimately it'll be the company that suffers from this halfwitted approach.
Pros
Flexible hours, convenient location, paid floating holidays, rollover unused vacation days for the following year...that's about it.
Cons
Management has no clue how to perform the daily job functions of the buyers who are responsible for keeping the company afloat. Healthcare benefits are mediocre at best and costly. 401K company match of 1% is miserable. Educational background is not relevant to this company - promotions are based on favoritism and who you know. Employee rentention rates are horrible - About 10 people quit during my time with Haas. There is no employee recognition or incentive programs to increase morale and keep employees happy. Those who are good at their job will be rewarded with more and more work until they are overwhelmed and pushed out the door, while those that are incompetent will have work taken away and still be employed without being reprimanded. The company policies were written by people who have no clue what is going on within the company and are out of touch with the day to day operations, therefore when a policy is not followed to a "T" we are reprimanded and thrown under the bus because we didn't do "our job." If you need assistance from management solving a problem good luck getting a response within 24 hours - responsibility is passed back and forth between managers and no one will take charge. There is absolutely no opportunity for growth if that's what you're looking for - they pick certain people for certain positions and that's it, although they claim there are "tons of opportunities." Bonuses are unheard of at Haas unless you are senior-level management or the CEO, otherwise you don't get a dime.
