Pros

The people. Hands down, some of the best folks I've had the pleasure to work with. Starting pay isn't bad for the area, especially since they don't really seem to care what your previous work experience is. Easy job. I've worked in multiple fields and this is hands down the simplest job I've ever had. Tool + Hardware then rinse and repeat as many times as needed per the build schedule. Benefits for full time Bloom employees are stellar.

Cons

The management. There is a huge disconnect between upper middle and lower management on just about every issue you can imagine. Nepotism. Are you a temp? Does your family/best friend/significant other work with the company and have friends in management? You'll be the next lead on track for supervisor. Merit isn't really a thing at Bloom. You see so many hardworking temps get let go and over looked because corporate (you know, 3 time zones away) decided to cut staffing in the DE facility, while the family and friends of existing employees get kept. Conversion rate. It's basically non existent. You have probably a 5% chance of getting kept on if you are lucky, assuming you can avoid a random lay off and are good at your job. Expect to be overworked and underpaid. You will train your replacement. You will train people on jobs you've interviewed and been turned down for. You will find a better way to do the job, while being encouraged to give your input, your lead will present the idea to his boss, and he'll get brownie points. You'll get a thank you and still have a 95% chance of being laid off. Management is super catty. You will hear them bad mouth employees and gossip like little old ladies at the hair salon with their curlers in.

Pros

A mature start up feel. No two days are the same, lots of interesting projects to work on and given the opportunity to have an impact The people are a highlight. Teams are collaborative, driven, and full of smart individuals who are genuinely invested in what they’re building. There’s a strong sense of ownership, and you’re given the opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way regardless of level.

Cons

There really are not any major cons so far. It is 5 days in office. And whilst I am local and enjoy coming in a little flexibility would be nice. That said there's a great gym, good restaurant and free EV charging so I like being here!

Pros

Great technology and programs in place when utilize correctly. I’m really digging deep trying to find the positives, but it’s hard.

Cons

No leadership or direction you can never find a supervisor or a lead when you have a problem, no air-conditioning in half of the warehouse where all the employees actually work it’s actually the other side that’s currently being remodeled for another production line that has air-conditioning, you are led to believe this is a great company to grow with and at but you quickly realize it is actually the complete opposite of everything they tell you in training, no one pays any attention to what is going on so if you are a good hard worker that shows up on time everyday, ready to work and you cannot because the tools to do your job are missing and you have to spend the next hour looking for someone to tell it easily gets overlooked and old real fast. They have three job recruitment agencies on site with 4 time clocks all right next to each other so clocking in and out is torture. They also seem to have a rodent problem because there are mice in the locker room eating the lunch/food we bring. Between the dust, free flow chemicals, and fiberglass particles that are everywhere in there and get all over everything so naturally I was shocked when I blow my nose and it’s all black and grey snot that comes out.
