Management does not take you serious as a regular employee

Nothing I can think of, very good company to work for

General issues of working in a big company (i.e. lots of red tape, communication chain is too long)

Org structure and growth is minimal

While the company is in business to make money, which is completely respectable and indeed totally justified, the current trend of just focusing on the money, not anymore on the well being of their performers and contributors, getting rid of their most experienced people to get "new blood", and reducing costs. There is no respect anymore for the people who helped the company to reach to where it is right this moment. HR and senior management is going for the "cheap" and forgetting about quality. Too bad people remaining still have the fear of losing their job every single day, not being thought of like they are people, but just a number. I guess they can be proud of making a lot of money by trumping over their employees and showing zero respect.

Cliques, little to no work life balance, stagnant wages, high stress, little to no opportunities to get professional licenses or certification

No consideration for your personal life. It's difficult to use earned vacation time. Bereavement and sick days are frowned upon even though they are available.

Large and sometimes not nimble

There is no challenge and development is too slow

Swing shifts and constant job responsibility changes
