Cons

There aren't really any cons that I can say would be specific to Fort Wayne Metals or would be more proliferent than at other companies. About the only thing I could say is that I think they are on the lower end of the pay scale for non-production roles.

Pros

- Good culture - Work life balance - Opportunities for advancement. I started on the production floor and as I progressed through college (which they pay for 100% regardless of degree) I was promoted until I’m in the position I’m in now and I still have plenty of room to grow and managers that encourage development

Cons

- Company is growing so fast, which is a good thing, but having some growing pains
