Pros
Great hours, as you get to choose your shift. And your coworkers (other assemblers) are awesome. Management, not so much.
Cons
Management isn’t good at all. There are people promoted that should not be in positions of power—whether it be because they don’t have experience or they just aren’t good with people, they don’t deserve the jobs they have. And problems assemblers have are just swept under the rug unless they fit the agenda of management. And Cook never invests money into the company. We have broken machines, work with subpar tools, and request new—but it never comes. Carl Cook does, however, invest in property so he can build houses that they say are going to be for Cook employees….BUT, the average Cook assembler won’t qualify for a loan for the home (prices starting in the low $150,000) because WE DON’T MAKE ENOUGH MONEY! It seems Carl Cook is more interested in putting his money elsewhere. Also, the bonus program is gone and they cut out overtime. Checks, after taxes, for a 40 hour week, are less than 450 bucks. NOT a job for anyone supporting a family! Also, the company is being sold off one department at a time. So it won’t be here much longer, or they will sell out to another company
