Pros

employed for over 10 years and I cant think of one pro other than the experience that I gained and what I learned on how NOT to treat people

Cons

no organization, goals are unrealistic, constant berating about proficiency and numbers with outdated equipment processes and a lot of manual work. Direction from the top is always changing, shoot from the hip ideas about how to run the operation. Absolutely no appreciation for hard work and dedication, we can replace you, you don’t matter mentality. Treated and talked to like you’re an idiot in front of peers and in public settings. Corporate HR is in the back pocket of the leaders who act this way, so they are no help. Leaders are allowed to act this way because they meet goals. If you speak up or voice your concern about how things are done or don't agree 100% with the direction, your position is eliminated due to "restructuring" the organization. Saw a lot of really good people lost because they had a different opinion about the direction from leadership

Pros

Great company atmosphere, busy and challenging environment. Pay is very competitive and bonuses are paid in the Spring. Company has a focus and direction which they communicate to their employees.

Cons

Typically too busy to engage in industry events. Too busy in general to take your time handling your day to day tasks. Some people got promoted because how many hours they put in vs. whether they really belong in that position.

Pros

Co workers are great. Company benefits are adequate.

Cons

Disorganized, dysfunctional, not invested in their employees. The overall structure is one of finger pointing, and empty promises. The promotion opportunities are very limited, and the cultural diversity of the company as a whole is sadly imbalanced.
