Great place to work

Pros

Great company with strong leadership and a clear vision for the future. Management genuinely cares about employees and gives people the autonomy to do their jobs well. The culture is collaborative, fast-paced, and results-driven without being toxic. Communication is solid, expectations are clear, and good work is recognized. Opportunities for growth and learning are real if you’re willing to step up and take ownership.

Cons

Like any growing company, things can move quickly and priorities can shift, which isn’t ideal for someone who prefers a slow or highly structured environment.

Really Toxic

Pros

I didn’t experience any pros.

Cons

There is no air conditioning, Immediately they throw you in with barely any guidance and get irritated when you mess up, upper management was not friendly or welcoming at all. Did not once get asked how it was going for me on my first week or if I had any questions or needed to be shown how to do something. They have only one paid ten minute break at the beginning of the shift and you can choose to take a thirty minute lunch but then you have to stay an extra thirty minutes. If a place 1) doesn’t have air conditioning 2) doesn’t let employees use headphones, or 3) constantly micromanages employees not to talk while working then you need to give more actual breaks. A ten minute break isn’t gonna cut it. This will create a much better morale and with a better morale comes better work being put out.
