Pros

The pay differential for working nights is decent. The 401k is pretty good. Quarterly bonuses are usually pretty decent.

Cons

Ever since the COVID-19 "pandemic" lockdowns and masking mandates, this company has been the most tyrannical and draconian I have ever experienced. I despise showing up to work ever since this started in March, and every chance I get for lunch or break, I drive as far as possible whenever possible.

It feels like a prison complex; no freedoms, no fun, no nothing!

Horrid leadership that gets promoted based on their gender, skin color, or sexual orientation to fill in the quotas, not based on actual experience. Disgusting.

They treat disabled military vets like trash and place them in positions that are even worse for their disability. Been here for well over a year and have yet to see one single promotion, irregardless of how hard I work.

Night shifts are the worst: even on your days off, it is nearly impossible to transition to see daylight. Basically, your family life is non-existent if you are married or have children, or even desire to have a social life.

Training: non-existent. You get thrown in the deep end and basically try and figure it out on your own. If you make a mistake, you basically get chewed out and embarrassed before everyone.

Needless to say: actively searching for another position ASAP. Cannot wait to quit.

Advice to Management

Don't low-ball your recruits with false hopes of bonuses. Base pay should still be competitive.

Don't promote inexperienced people into leadership roles just because of their gender, race, or whatever. You are ruining the quality of your leadership and your company. Hire people based on experience, not silly degrees only.

Stop treating healthy people as if they are all sick and forcing masking mandates, temperature checks, etc. We are adults and know how to take care of ourselves if we have the flu or any illness.

Stop cramming your leftist progressive agenda down everyone's throat. It is really upsetting and disgusting and not very "inclusive" of you.
