Pros

The company provides tremendous benefits, very competitive salary with what is offered in the role and position versus other companies. HR makes effort to provide events that would motivate employees on a regular basis.

Cons

Going back from work on time makes you look like a villain in the team. People are always working beyond the normal working hours, rendering 2-3 hours overtime on average. The company often preaches about work-life-balance however the work, on top of doing everything else that is sometimes not work-related, including all sorts of activities for 'growth' makes one easily get overwhelmed with work on a daily basis. If you are single/fresh grad/workaholic then this company is right for you. If you seek a balanced lifestyle where you get to work from 8am to 5pm and go home without worrying about work and not having to bring work back home, then I suggest you find other companies to work for.

Pros

Teamwork, the crew , good pay,

Cons

Long hours, forced 12hour shifts with no lunch break and over time, average week is 52 to 60 hours , short staffed regularly, management team not engaged on floor, managers with poor attitudes, no breaks. Promotions are based off of favoritism you will get the interview but they already know who they picked.
