Pros

This company was expanding and the work seemed interesting, hence I was attracted to take a job there. The work was not bad, as there was a lot of it and you can get a decent exposure to their customers and vendors. An employee can make a meaningful impact in the area of their work with some restrictions and headaches. They are pretty safety conscious in the production facilities. The workers are nice and put up with a lot of negatives.

Cons

The managers were the worst I have seen anywhere and they kept getting worse. I am referring to mid level managers, directors and VPs. It was probably coming from the very top. This has become a sweat shop. Like one of the reviewers said, they will use you like a tool, dry you out and then discard you. There is a history of overworking employees, burning them out and showing them the door, especially if they are into their late thirties. I heard it was not like that many years ago. One of the managers I had to work with was almost always incorrect and obviously lacked experience or education. I have heard and seen weird things from other departments too. I have heard a manager in a different department kept surrounding himself with all women workers and promoted only women. That has got to be a violation of the company's ethics policy. Some of the employees that could afford to leave have left. They keep rotating or firing the sales leads very frequently (less than 2 years). They replaced one joker in my department with another joker as a manager. Sadly the company is headed in the wrong direction. They pay bonuses in October or at the end of September so it is harder for employees to move if they choose another job during the summer. You will witness an ever increasing aggressive cost cutting almost mindlessly. You will end up working three or four jobs in one and will get paid for one. There are almost no opportunities for growth even for deserving employees. It felt like a sweat shop that was run by deplorable managers.

Pros

The people are good. It is a nice clean environment to work in.

Cons

Morale is very low. Employees are leaving and they are not backfilling positions. Adds a lot of stress out on the floor.
