Best thing
My coworkers
Worst thing
Bad pay, micromanaging from the top, difficult to call out or take PTO and not be bombarded with work when you come back because no one knows how to cover you properly, doing the job of 3 people and getting paid for 1, being treated as disposable by upper management, upper management has an attitude problem, you're expected to do and know things outside of your job scope

Best thing
The people
Worst thing
That getting promotions is difficult because of favoritism. The pay is not enough.

Best thing
Remote work and consistent schedule
Worst thing
Insurance premiums are very high for being a self insured company. Pay raises are minuscule and don’t keep up with cost of living. Very difficult to cross train or job shadow in order to apply for or move to better paying positions
