Pros
The company's products are highly technical and provide for solid profits. There's a lot of opportunity for growth in new products and markets. Workplace environment is casual and respectful for salaried staff. For salaried staff not involved in day-to-day manufacturing operations, good work/life balance, flexibility, and "unlimited PTO".
Cons
Currently operating under severe spending cuts, seemingly for no other reason than to line the pockets of the private equity owners. Corporate appears to be perfectly OK with a run-to-failure maintenance strategy, causing unnecessary downtime & stress from things breaking; You can't call yourself a world-class operation with this being acceptable. Little to no support from corporate for making improvements because it costs money. Location has had several salaried staff quit in the past few months. Turnover is becoming a problem. Currently no HR staff or Maintenance management. Many hourly production workers toil for 12hrs/day, 6days/week with no end. Low morale on the floor and lots of safety incidents.
