Pros

Work-life balance is great. Benefits are good. Teamwork is excellent and they have a lot of nice, intelligent people working for them.

Cons

Management performs poorly at this company. You almost forget they exist they have such little involvement with you. The only time you have real interaction is with an occasional evaluation that is written by people that have never worked with you. No real growth or advancement opportunities. Money is the bottom line here. They outsource a lot of their positions to other countries because it is significantly cheaper and they use their college interns to do professional level work for very meager pay then boot them out the door.

Pros

Good insurance. 5% 401k match. 7% of your gross goes in your 401k via profit share. Good amount of PTO. A lot of the people. Climate controlled. Clean environment.

Cons

Hourly pay too low to deal with their BS. Too much OT after promising none. Haven’t seen the plant manager in literally years. Production floor manager is full of it and plays favorites to the extreme. Unless you’re part of the clique, you’ll get nowhere. Instead of raises, we got board games for the break room. The restaurant in the building is gross and a joke. They preach that they’re “like a family”, but only because they want you working there for cheap. Should’ve never taken 12’s away just to mandate 10-20 hours of OT per week. No real recognition or appreciation ever.
