Pros

The coworkers out of office are the most caring people I ever met. The insurance was worth most of the headbutting, and pay is fair based on skill and knowledge.

Cons

Have a point system for absences that do not have any leeway for mental health or events that are out of your control (flat tire, accident on the way to work) you get a point for any absence and it takes a year for that point to reset. Not a calendar year, a year from the event. So if you had an emergency and had to take a point day on the anniversary of that day the point would reset. They don't tell you that if you have 5 points you cannot get a yearly raise. Management is completely divorced from the factory floor, only focusing on what can be earned for the top and constantly taking away from their employees. Management is waiting for a big government contract to come down and not working on getting work in the meantime leaving employees on edge.

Pros

For the most part, I did not have to bring work home with me. Compensation was good. Benefits are on par with other corporations in the area, although they have been slowly eroding them.

Cons

Company still very siloed between the various business units. Middle and upper management do not work well with each other, and their strategy is not as clear as it could be. A lot of formerly in-house services have been outsourced, which has slowed down what were routine processes. Micromanagement seems to be on the rise.
