Pros

Used to be a good place to work, used to! My advice is to stay away, the future seems bleek

Cons

- Terrible work/life balance - a real lack of structured work flow and processes - a culture of just "figure out how to get it done" - Opportunities for advancement are blocked - Very few female employees in leadership roles - They preach "the value employees" that's only lip service, company actions are contrary - If you use the healthcare offered and your spouse is covered you pay a surcharge. As if to say we value you and offer you insurance but if you use it , Oh well then you must pay an additional surcharge. - HR department is a mess - no meanigful training for employees, only obligatory quizes to cover the company - workload is heavy and people just fight fires, no real planning ahead - many reductions in force (RIF's) over the last three years - Good ole boys club

Pros

Direct management (Team Lead and Supervisor) are welcoming and extremely helpful with new hires.

Cons

Plant Manager likes to scream at people for fun I guess? He came through with my tl and supervisor and screamed at them in front of all of us last week.
