Pros

Great team to work with. The empolyees make the enviorment worth dealing with. Alot of help and supporting people. Great availability allowing to float hours when needed

Cons

No direction for growth. They speak of promoting from within but always choses to outsource. Will have you stuck n one spot they feel your good at and not allow you to grow out of that.

Pros

Culture is transitioning from a typical midsized Midwest manufacturer to a more Corporate environment... This provides structure as well as potential for larger opportunity

Cons

This cultural change can be less personal and more about deliverables which is not for everyone
