Pros

I stated here almost 3 years ago and it's been amazing journey. Started as a Wire-drawer and since have applied for 2 positions and have gotten them I now run my own team. It's a welcoming environment and the senior worker always willing to teach you what they have learned over the years. The culture is family oriented. My last employer when we got bought out the culture was the first thing thay went and so did the moralle of the team. It was more profit driven. This place at least makes an effort to correct their wrongs, and treat you like you matter. You would think places like this don't exist anymore. The pay is pretty decent and the bonuses are good as well, they try every year to give cost of living increase and compensate you well. There a shift differential and senority differential. Work life balance is very good. No mandatory OT.

Cons

Still having some staffing issues,
