Pros

Good pay and working conditions. Employee safety is highly valued. Products are top-notch and reliable.

Cons

Lots of talk about collaboration. Really a top-down management style. Unless you're part of a Kanban, your ideas aren't really valued - unless they are the same as your boss. Not all jobs are posted internally or externally for your opportunity to progress your career. Certain long term employees are given opportunities to maintain their employment by giving them access to jobs without posting for others to apply. The company claims they don't do this, but they do.

Pros

The management team works hard to encourage and support employees, recognizing that they are the company's greatest asset. Experienced team members are welcoming and take the time to train new employees, helping them succeed while emphasizing the importance of working safely. Leadership strives to be fair, consistent, and approachable. They actively listen to employee concerns, address issues in a timely manner, and foster a positive, supportive work environment where employees feel valued and respected.

Cons

One of the biggest drawbacks is the lack of air conditioning in the factory during the summer, making the work environment hot and at times uncomfortable. Overtime opportunities are also limited to a maximum of 56 hours per week, which may be disappointing for employees looking to work additional hours. While overtime is available, most employees can typically expect to work around eight hours of overtime each week.
