Pros

The company has an amazing history. It was founded by three brothers back in the 60s and the company grew very quickly. The founders of the company (though retired) still visit plants and talk with everyone on the floor. From the highest levels the respect of employees at every level was valued, and all were treated as partners. By far, this company has some of the most passionate and amazing people who I have ever had the pleasure to work with. One year ago I would have said with 99% certainty that I would have worked for this company for the rest of my life.

Cons

There are some managers who seem like they are more focused on pursuit of their careers than building a team the right way. The situation that I am in is what is prompting my current job search. I absolutely love this company, but the situation that I am in has me fighting the urge to give my notice without even having another job to go to. I would not let this stop you from working for this company though, I would just urge you to talk to some employees in the plant where you will be working to get a feel for the working conditions. Again this company has some of the greatest people who I have ever worked with.

Dysfunctional, toxic environment for below average pay

Pros

Good environmental record, low market pricing

Cons

Seek bargain basement candidates but place unrealistic and unattainable bonus goals. Reporting requirements are big burden. Sales management is political and creates a tocic environment. Success is based on who tows the line, not sales numbers.
