Pros

If you are interested in job security, relatively routine work, and prefer small towns this would likely be a good company for you.

Cons

Generally, the pay, benefits, and healthcare are below average. Often, career growth requires you to move to a new location. There are extreme deficits with regard to innovation, professionalism, and diversity. AWC uses outdated inefficient processes, and requires of it's employee's a strict adherence to standard practices are sometimes inefficient. Additionally, as a minority you are often treated as a token, and showcased to stage an appearance of diversity. Further, religion is given an unorthodox place in discussion in the workplace. Culture is lauded more than at any other company I've ever worked for. Yet, the culture encourages conformity at best, and discrimination at worst.

Pros

Direct manager cares and has goals in place to help improve the department. The core team is made up of great people that work well together.

Cons

Seems like the plant director is actively and intentionally making the entire plant worse. Zero accountability for disrespecting hourly workers even when it's brought to management's attention. Supervisors have completely checked out and refuse to provide the help needed for their people to succeed. Nonexistent advancement opportunities unless you go to church with or are friends with certain managers. Cliquey front office and improper use of employee information. Little to no diversity in management roles. There is a single manager that's a POC and he's their most recent hire.
