Pros

It's not a bad company to work for, I've worked for far worse. But they did get cheap with their benefits for 2021 and the workload is overwhelmingly too much.

Cons

Workload: You will never run out of work. You'll be buried from day one. You're expected to get the work done without going into OT (if you are hourly). It's a fight with leadership to open a position to hire qualified people. Employee benefits: Their medical plan is a nightmare, they passed a 42.85% increase in premium to certain plans to the employee, for employee only coverage between 2020 and 2021. Then they took away the company paid accident benefit and made it 100% employee paid. Prescriptions that were $15 a month last year? Jumped to $40+ a month in 2021. Their current medical plan provider is difficult to reach via the phone and unwilling to provide any assistance/guidance on their denials for coverage. Word to the wise, if you're going in for surgery, better ask EVERY Single person in the Operating Room if they participate with your medical carrier and if they are necessary to assist in the surgery. Otherwise.... You'll get bills in the thousands of dollars and the carrier conveniently can't find your appeals, if you happen to get someone to answer their phone. Company match on 401k? It USED to be 6% company match up when an employee put in 6%. Then the pandemic hit, they took the match away. Then they reinstated the match at 3.5% if you put in 6% of your income.
