Pros

Mostly flexible work schedule. Great colleagues.

Cons

Low Pay with no vertical growth opportunities. Management gaslights, deflects, and throws around "Emotional Intelligence" to keep their employees down and underpaid. No consistency in management (lots of movement and shifting). Roles and responsibilities poorly defined. All systems homegrown and do not work well together.

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.
