Fast paced, SMART people, lots of opportunities

Work life balance and management

The company offers a benefits package including medical insurance, a 401(k)/Roth retirement plan, and an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), although the ESOP's performance has been underwider expectations. Employees are eligible for paid time off, accrued sick leave, and 40 hours of unpaid time off. Additionally, there is a desire to reinstate the previous $25 attendant's bonus program, which was a valued component of the compensation package.

The organization struggles with reliability, as promises are often not kept. Favoritism and dishonesty are prevalent, leading to a sense of disvaluation and lack of appreciation among team members. Opportunities are not equitably distributed, and management is ineffective, with a tendency to micromanage. Disrespectful behavior is exhibited, and communication is limited, requiring individuals to proactively seek information and answers to questions.
