Pros

Decent medical plan especially if you are diabetic.

Cons

Newer company still figuring things out. They are struggling to meet FDA requirements in their manufacturing process. The upper leadership team is failing to see how they are part of the problem. In true immature fashion, they blame shift instead of setting direction and being accountable for the results. The management has created a very toxic environment that isn’t performance based. You move up in the company based on who you know, not what you contribute. And for that reason, I’m out.

Pros

Career opportunities to advance. Leadership provided consistent learning opportunities with time managed while on shift. Co workers face the same challenges in shift tasks, team work is maintained on the manufacturing floor. Nice friendly and of various skill ranges coworkers were a major part of safety and task completion.

Cons

This place was incredible to have an opportunity to work at, very large manufacturing location, being disabled walking around complex was a challenge.

Pros

- Good people, despite the bad politics. People are generally smart and well meaning - Relaxed work environment depending on team. Most teams have pretty good WLB and don't require 50+ hour weeks unless you are trying to get in front of leadership

Cons

- Low pay compared to comps across US unless you're senior ++ but such is life in the SD job market - Not tech forward -- lots of inefficient processes and frustrating tech stacks that do not scale - Very political environment -- senior leadership cuts corners to appease shareholders and this creates a culture where people cannot actually stand behind their work so they resort to playing politics to keep their job - Limited opportunities for advancement. Growth has been slow the past couple of years, budgets tighter, and overall way less room for advancement. This is a company for someone mid career or later, not early career
