Pros

They have excellent medical benefits. They are the only company that offers cancer insurance.

Cons

1. Starts with over hiring, than reduction in hours, and finally laying off of hourly employees due to work instability. 2. They tend to layoff hourly workforce before salary management. 3. Employee engagement is nonexistence 4. Management secrecy on company performance. Communication tends to be through the rumor mill 5. Workload is really busy or really dead. 6. Management practice is very old school. Asking for employee feedback is more of formality then culture 7. Your opinion only matters if you’re at the leadership level 8. Very high turnovers of hourly and salary employees 9. They reprimand people for making mistakes, not use it as a learning opportunity (Edison made 9,999 mistakes before his 10,000th try of inventing the light bulb). He would have been terminated at Celgard. 10. Lack of team collaboration and managements definition of team is dictating directions. Overall, NOT a pleasant working environment and other reviews mimic this point. If you are seeking a stable work environment that provides career/financial growth, employee engagement culture, and view as an asset to the company, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
