Pluspunten

Coworkers at the plants are good people and easy to work with. Benefits are goodish, but they are on the downward spiral. Safety is a very high priority. Overall a comfortable place to work.

Minpunten

Wages are below average in the SF-Bay area even after the cost of living increase in 2015. Plant staff has to commute over an hour at the minimum to work, because no one can afford to life close to the plants. Budgets at some of the bay area plants are so low that most maintenance can't be performed. As a result of this we just keep putting duct tape over bandages until it blows up and the staff get blamed. Really bad training program for Instrumentation Controls Tech's

Pluspunten

- Hybrid schedule (3 days in office, 2 days remote) with a generally low-stress environment and good work-life balance. - Stable work environment with predictable expectations and manageable day-to-day responsibilities (specific to my team/manager) - Free catered breakfast on in-office days and a well-stocked kitchen. - Competitive annual bonus program, including prorated eligibility for employees who join mid-year. - My manager lets employees manage their workload without excessive oversight. Management experience may vary across teams.

Minpunten

- Lack of team culture and camaraderie. Interactions are only work-focused, with little to none team-building or company-wide events. - Compensation is below industry standards for similar roles. - Limited opportunities for career growth, skill development, and innovation. New projects are infrequent, and work can become repetitive and mundane over time. - The Business/Data Analyst role is heavily focused on QA/testing and may not align with expectations of a traditional analyst position. - Workload is highly inconsistent, ranging from very light some days/weeks to exceptionally heavy. - Many IT roles are contract-to-hire, with full-time conversion timelines that can extend well beyond expectations and lack clear communication. - Employee feedback/criticism is not well received by upper management.
