Pros

Pay is great but you have to work hard. the young ownership group (kids) is great and are great people to work for. BPI will always take care of you in a time of need and there are a lot of great people that work at BPI. Sales team has a lot of great people in it and the guys running it are great guys. Great experience and BPI is well known in the industry and very well respected. QA, Sales and Tech Services are the best departments. Overall BPI is a great place to work and has a lot of great people. They also a have a great product that is very well accepted in the industry. There are a lot of incredibly smart people at BPI and they will teach you so much. Overall BPI is great place and i would recommend.

Cons

Even if you are on salary, you still have to use the time clock. You have to have a doctors note if you go to the doctor. Very strict on time attendance and HR will watch like a hawk. A lot of fighting going on between departments. Work life balance is not the greatest.

Pros

Some great co-workers here. Fair pay.

Cons

Micromanaging to a level you will never encounter anyplace else. Even salaried folks are scrutinized by every clock in and clock out that they do. Lunch is from 12:00 - 1:00. Don't even think about clocking out at 11:59 or back in after 1 as you will be explaining this to HR. They know exactly how long it should take when you clock out of the corporate office to go to the plant and you had better be clocking back in at the plant within that time limit. Be prepared to provide proof if there was a lot of traffic or a car accident that slowed you down. In corporate you basically need to raise you hand and ask if you can use the restroom. You will get to work half days every Saturday but one each and every month. Don't worry, no one really does anything but sit around and act busy on Saturday since everyone knows its a waste of time.
