Pros

I'm so furious with this company I can come up with no Pros.

Cons

This company still walks a fine line by laying off older workers (especially at higher salary grades) and then replacing they with younger employees. They offer the older employee a package or "new" position for 90 or so days after which "they will be graded" - when in reality they are setting them up to fail in the new position, it's the goal of the new manager to ensure their failure so that they can then be let go with NO package. This company has NO loyalty to good long-term employees therefore you should have no loyalty to this company either.

Pros

Great people, okay schedule, some perks and benefits were okay.

Cons

Manufacturing, so always wanting more with less. Hard to please as they are constantly changing everything.
