Pros

Great People - Helpful, Caring, Hard Working, Knowledgeable, etc. Nice Facilities Lots of Tech to learn Fast Paced, a little chaotic due to industry roller-coaster and low volume - Almost fun is you like the excitement. Pretty sure all future jobs will be boring! Health and Medical are good - but continue to go up and up and up...

Cons

Industry Roller-Coaster is rough on employees - Doesn't matter how hard management tries they still hit the employee base. Some recent year policy changes have really hit employees hard. Product Decisions have lost market share in recent years. Policy Changes continue to erode employee benefits.... just being competitive will catch up with the company eventually.

Pros

Can be very accommodating for time off if and when needed. Decent benefits as well.

Cons

Multiple stacks of management. Huge politics involved throughout higher management, especially in Manufacturing. No real track of progression or a place to grow within the company. Management does not reward hard work and beats around the bush once comes time to Salary Planning.
