Pros

The hard working worker bees are all super. Management? not so much.

Cons

Managers and team leads don't know how to manage. There is no sense that the company wants different teams/areas to work together....they talk about it but it never really happens. There's a lot of finger-pointing when things go wrong and that happens frequently. New parent company (Enersys, 2 years ago) didn't seem to understand the fluctuating industry they were getting into. Once Enersys took over, benefits were cut. When production has no work, they are sent home on work share and ultimately lose out. Expectations are unreasonable. Managers keep asking for more but offer no advice on how to do more work in the same amount of time, or even less. Many deadlines are at best "suggestions" and targets are unreasonable.

Pros

Most areas of production are faster paced, most supervisors welcome any/all questions... Most work is simple, with access to step-by-step instructions provided via stationed computers... Music with One ear bud is allowed on production floor, and an overhead buzzer goes off for facility wide breaks... Refrigerators are provided for employee lunches/drinks, there is also a vending machine that has some drinks/food items at decent prices, (for example- soda is $1) and you have the option to use a debit/credit card...

Cons

A Lot of standing, only a handful of sitting positions- in some production lines, you may be standing and waiting for the next piece to be finished by the previous person... Some production supervisors can be short when asked to reinstruct an employee, it could just be that they deal with a lot of temp workers, but it can be off-putting... They only give two 10min and one 30min break, and the building is so large that you may spend a large portion of your break just getting to the restrooms- and lockers are only provided for full-time/non temp workers, so if you have to wear a jacket or bring an umbrella, you have to get creative on storage during your production...
