Pros

Profit sharing is nice I guess, but they lie about how much of it you see and it's only used as a hiring tool. Glass Coating is a cool process. The workers here are awesome.

Cons

They use profit sharing to pay you a lower base wage and market it incorrectly to new hires. Safety is really lacking everywhere in the plant. Management is a "Best Friends Club" so you only get to be a manager if you have no ability to be a manager, and one of your friends is already a manager. Communication from management to the people is really bad, and it's all rumors and gossip like a middle-school playground. No ability to advance unless someone retires or dies, but that's the same thing here. Most people have either been working here for 25+ years or 2-4 years. No project support for new engineers. Wage increases are laughably negative when accounting for inflation. No cost of living adjustments.

Pros

Some of your coworkers are nice Pay is ok. They have profit sharing.

Cons

It felt like they used me to cover labor during an employee’s maternity leave and let me go at the end of the probationary period because she was returning. They said I “lacked motivation” but I was often the only one working while everyone else stood around and talked. I was mistreated by several employees the entire 90 days. Everyone is related to each other, so if you don’t have any family there, you’re probably not going to make it past the probationary period. They cited a missed day of work, but there’s several new employees who have used all their vacation and still no call days with no consequences. Profit sharing is apparently a thing, but I never saw it.
