Pros

Great company with great company values, weekly pay, good benefits

Cons

Management is more concerned about profit over people, no overtime under any circumstances (and in the event that you would get overtime they split up your days so you don’t get it ) Company boasts about treating employees like family but at our location that’s nonexistent. The culture becomes “what have you done for us lately” Promotions are nonexistent due to personal biases. Asking why and what I can do to improve for future chances, I get told to pound sand. Benefits don’t auto renew at the end of the year so you have to manually set them up again for the following year

Pros

Pay is decent for Knoxville Benefits are good Coworkers are the only thing holding this place together

Cons

The culture has taken a nosedive. The new CFO sets the tone, and that tone is basically “I don’t care.” That attitude trickles down through leadership and it shows in every decision being made. The return‑to‑office mandate is a perfect example. It’s not about productivity — it’s about control. People with long commutes are burning hours of their lives just to sit in the office on Zoom calls they used to take from home. Morale is the lowest it has ever been. Entire teams have been gutted because people are quitting faster than they can be replaced. The workload dumped on whoever stays is unsustainable. Communication from leadership is cold, dismissive, and out of touch. Feedback goes nowhere. Concerns are brushed off. Decisions are made with zero regard for how they impact employees. Constant reorganizations create chaos. Roles change overnight, expectations shift constantly, and employees are expected to absorb more and more with no support. The company used to feel people‑focused. Now it feels like a machine that’s grinding down the very people who keep it running.
