Pros

You get a paycheck. Coworkers can be alright.

Cons

Managers expect you to work from home. Pay is way below the national average in almost every single category. Forced 9 hour day. Parts of EWIE is contracted work, so when EWIE management loses a contract in a facility, you are out of a job. If you stay in that same place because you were offered a position, the owners will literally scream and yell in your face. Then they will sue you because they force you to sign a non-compete. They just do not care about the people they hire. Very few paid holidays, tho you're expected to work, even on Christmas Eve. HR is absolutely unprofessional. They work from Ann Arbor, Michigan so they tell you how things are to be done, but they don't have the slightest idea on day to day operations in your plant. If you call HR and ask for assistance they literally can not help you or walk you through anything. They make changes to software, programs, procedures without every knowing anything about the original and how it will effect the worker who has to deal with it on a day to day to basis. making your job all the more difficult.

Pros

Ewie is a decent company to work for. All of my direct managers have been wonderful people. There is also a wealth of knowledge available once meet some others within the company. Very stable. I feel that I have strong job security.

Cons

Raises, bonuses, and other compensation are lacking. 2-2.5% yearly raises just don't keep up with inflation. It also feels like they try everything they can to justify not giving you your full potential bonus. Lastly, the PTO scale is misleading. Talking to quite a few people both within, and outside of the company, the handbook makes it seem like you earn a third year of PTO after working here for three years. But as it turns out, you don't get an additional week of PTO until you've started your fifth year of employment. Upper management also offers very little support to site management. My original manager spent months begging for assistance with a uncooperative customer. We were just told to keep trying. Then when the end of the year came our bonuses were punished due to all the issues we tried to get support with.
