Pros

Lots of great people that work the floor on a daily basis. Safety is a top priority for most people Very big sense of pride in doing the work

Cons

Management has very little interaction with work being done on the floor. Support on back shifts was little to nothing.

Pros

Pay, 401K match (6%), 9/80 schedule, peers and department workers were very nice to work with

Cons

Severely understaffed in many departments causing strain on good hard working employees. Communication stinks! Stop letting go of needed experienced workers to later hire non experienced. This is a waste of resources and time to train a new employee that will probably be scared away once they see they can not access the internet from their desktop computers. Plus costs of security clearance when they walk out the door 6 mo later. Some senior management ethical and professional behaviors need reviewed after good employees leave to rid themselves of this culture built in that environment. You can't trust going to HR with legitimate ethical violation issues for fear you will be shown the door.

Pros

4 10 schedule. Flexible schedule. Plenty of overtime. Long Christmas break plus 2 weeks of vacation upon hire. Paid holidays.

Cons

Health insurance is ridiculous. Parking is ridiculous. It would be nice to have a daycare. Hire in too many people that don't have enough experience. 85% of employees here have less than 1.5 years of enployment here.
