Pros

great management team. better than average salary ranges. flexible hours available. plenty of OT.

Cons

company is moving the division that I am currently employed in to Mexico in 2016, forcing a drastic reduction in work force numbers. After the notice of the pending lay-offs, corporate still sent out company e-mails telling ALL employees how good the quarter was going, how profits were higher than expected. Very poor ethical treatment of it's employees.
