Pros

Pros - If your unemployed and need a job, it's better than being broke . - If you are in upper management, administration, or HR you don't face most of the cons - A other few select pockets are still good places to work within the site, but they are shrinking and disappearing slowly.

Cons

- Upper Management takes no responsibility, displaces blame on employees - Extreme lack of respect and poor treatment - Lack of recognition and compensation for even the most outstanding performance - Low to modest pay for your position - Extreme lack of efficiency and poor workflows/communication - Management keeps shaving benefits from middle management and lower - Management removed people and tools from our team, added responsibilities, and raised expectations of produced work, tell me how that works. - Worked over 70 hours in a week at times, overtime was a constant. - Overtime was constant for many months at a time. - Constantly understaffed. - Management doesn't even know the jobs of the employees it manages in many cases, at times even being called out by each other for their extreme lack of knowledge of the very work flows they are managing. - Anonymous tip line has gotten people fired, if this isn't a red flag I don't know what is. - Sexual harassment of female employees is quite common and HR has worked hard to prevent multiple lawsuits. - Company has already lost many key players in the last year, people who may not have the positions but were the movers and shakers within the company. 6+ employees of this caliber from many different departments have been lost in the last year alone. - Within my stay there I got to see them get fined for not reporting over 100 separate accidents and also not following safety regulations regarding equipment and chemicals, even including Hexavalent Chromium (google it). -Corporate headquarters seems to have no idea how bad the situation has gotten, considering the numbers manipulation I've seen first hand I can only assume they are being sent faulty numbers.

Pros

They offered me an opportunity to dig my teeth into an exciting new field that holds my interests deeply, paid my training and certificates, love the work and what I was working on...at least while work lasts

Cons

Supposedly have all these jobs lined up but can't put me on any of them, I grew rusty and dull sitting on unemployment and working little kid jobs for 15+ months at a time to survive the long layoffs, asked to be pushed into the shop in the down time so I can keep learning but because a family member works in one of the shops they were worried about "nepotism" Yet there are multiple large family dynasties within the company and within even the same shops, like the Powers for instance...there's a lot of overtime being paid that could be alleviated if they brought some local field hands in to supplement the shop
