Pros

Great people to work with, easy commute

Cons

Place is ran on the buddy/buddy system. If you're not in the click then you don't mean crap to them. Plant mgr. makes promises but never follows thru. Disregard safety and environment to make the owners more money while sticking it to the workers. Safety Dept. and ERT is a big joke now!
