Pros

The benefits package was surprisingly competitive.

Cons

- Definition of a culture of fear. Employees under constant surveillance, afraid to come to work, actively disengaged. - Terrible leadership. Unethical management practices. - No sense of purpose to the work, it feels as if everyone is just running in circles.

Pros

Good people with great leadership at the top level. The people in C-suite care about what they are doing and where they want to go. Most of the people on the floor are amazing, work hard, and care deeply about what they do.

Cons

The top-level vision doesn't always translate down to the factory floor on a day-to-day basis.
