Pros

There are no pros to working at 80/20.

Cons

There are to many cons to list. This is a place that should not be recommended to any one. You better be prepared to work 6 days a week and 10 hour days. Your work will not be appreciated no matter how hard you work or how well you perform at your job. The only way to advance is to suck up to management. They will tell you that your opinion is valued, however when you do voice your opinion you might find yourself walked out of the company. The company seems to find great pleasure in walking people out the door that have served this company so well. Management is a complete joke at 80/20. The only way to get a job in management is to be a complete brown noser. Most people that do work in management are on such an incredible power trip, they don't even realize how ignorant they make the company look.This is a horrible company to work for. If you feel like being disrespected and made to feel like your not worth anything on a daily basis by all means do apply.

Pros

The pros for working at 80 20 are present but are not fully utilized. You get paid time off decent insurance and plenty of volunteer overtime.

Cons

The cons are very present. Starting off you get tons of mandatory overtime. The culture at the location is a problem. If you don't work the overtime there are employees who will make fun of you and be rude. If you work the overtime the same thing occurs. Now you might think this is hazing but no it's worse. They lie to management about you in attempts to get you fired. On another note management refuses to fire people unless it's attendance based. No names but there is an employee that cut 8 tape measures in half and put there hand near a operating saw in an attempt to make others do his work... and it worked management hasn't fired him but they will fire loyal employees who do there work. Finally floor management is a joke. The employees constantly have to correct / educate floor management on guidelines and policies. Additionally your team lead will hardly be present and will instead be in other departments that they dont work in just talking to people. Also good luck moving positions. They won't let you unless it's in the same department and even then it's rare they let you.
