Pros

Iconic American company, fantastic products and product lines, USA manufacturing, excellent benefits, great perks, new owners investing in buildings, equipment, and personnel.

Cons

All decision making is slanted towards Sales and Marketing. Manufacturing, Engineering, and Quality are reactionary after-thoughts. Too many technical decisions made by non-technical personnel-- from the floor, up through the front offices, and through the executive ranks.

Pros

The pay is pretty good.

Cons

This company is a horrible place to work. Much of Senior management is toxic. Health insurance is also absurd with all of their requirements. Do not get a job here.
