Pros

The insurance is adequate , but nothing to write home about.

Cons

It's a shame that the other reviews are so true, circus tricks, forced overtime with little notice , promised raises, which never come , just more bait and switch tactics . supervisors out of control , and HR's who could care less, but it's all true, and more. No Christmas bonus this year, yet they had money for a :management Christmas party , supervisors being allowed to treat employees any way they like , with no HR willing to stop them. There slogan seems to be if you don't like it here then leave, and they have been, like no other company I've ever seen before employees have being leaving in a tremendous turnover. Now lets not forget the new factory in Bethlehem, where the CEO says once your in, your in, no going outside on your breaks ...PERIOD ! Even though we punch out for lunch the half hour is on our time doesn't seem to matter . Of course there is no tobacco allowed on the property . If you like being locked up in a jail then by all means the new factory is the place for you. I always heard from people who have been there from the beginning they were a great place to work for..........what happened ! ? I also thought according to the new company policy they were no longer hiring anyone who smokes , or is it now they will take whoever they get.

Pros

Great pay, benefits, bonuses. There are a lot of talented and genuinely good people who work for this company. If you work in the office you can get 5 weeks of PTO. Most people are out of the office by 3 or 4.

Cons

As company gets bigger, some perks are disappearing. It happens with any startup.
