Pros

Interesting stuff to work on, Loved my coworkers and boss. i still remember facts i learned at this job years later. And if youre salary you can stack a ton of PTO which i thought was cool. But yea I learned a lot in my time here, I almost miss it

Cons

Didnt compensate enough for the area it was based in. Paid me $15/hr while rent in stratford in 2019 was like $1500-$1700 or something like that. And when i brought that up in the exit interview the HR rep laughed at me and told me i should have been living with my parents. Do I have to explain the socio-economic implications of that? Lol

Pros

Some of the people. Departments bond together and seem to become connected. Sometimes they do some cool "events"

Cons

The company is currently led by upper management with a traditional approach that may not align with modern business practices. There appears to be limited interest in embracing innovation or fostering growth, and the organizational culture often reflects outdated methodologies. Additionally, the workplace environment can feel exclusionary, with a strong sense of favoritism that may hinder career progression for those outside certain circles. The presence of visible political displays within the workplace, particularly within the factory, creates a divisive atmosphere. Moreover, the divide between union and non-union employees is notably pronounced, contributing to tensions and challenges in fostering a cohesive work environment.
