What could have been...
Pros: Compensation package was excellent at all levels
Focused on hiring military veterans
Non-management employees were friendly and helpful.
Cons: Compensation had to be excellent because they averaged 25% turnover PER QUARTER while I was there.
Turnover was due to poor management practices that caused an unacceptable level of stress.
Bottom 80% in volume and quality were under heavy scrutiny to improve their numbers. Only the top 20% were left to do their jobs. Impossible to meet metrics due to management's ignorance of interpreting sample size and relevance of data.
Many of the promotions I saw were based on who was sleeping with who, or who they could promote that was unable to leave based upon their inability to get another job somewhere else.
Eventually ~80% of the staff was laid off or fired, including management.
Being promoted from within production is almost impossible, many coworkers were overqualified for the position but because of policy could not jump pay levels to positions they were qualified for.
