Pros

Clear on overall mission and employees rally together to support. Communication from CEO and Senior Leadership is excellent. Private Company. Generally speaking, people genuinely care for each other, unlike other companies I have worked for. Forward thinking and gives employees the flexibility to thrive at work and home which is important.

Cons

While forward thinking in some areas, very traditional in others. Processes and Systems could be modernized to compete in today's marketplace and increase productivity.

Pros

Big plant, lots of room for field experience. Coworkers and contractors are will to help and guide you to the right path. Average-good performers. Decent pay and benefits for the area.

Cons

Closed culture, strangers are welcome but will not survive long term. Opportunities are only available to production staff. Continuous struggles for middle and upper management on and off site Equipment and infrastructure are getting old faster that the repair efforts

Pros

Reputation as an old Minnesota company with good values. Large privately held corporation with lots of opportunity for movement and career advancement. Good pay and bonus, overall compensation package very good.

Cons

Very lean structure, no work-life balance, management too focused on SG&A impact without any recognition of the work it takes to achieve business goals. Lots of favoritism, lack of openness to change, "this is how its always been done" and then surprise that competitors are innovating faster and are stealing customers.
