Pros

The people putting boots on the ground (not shoes on the desk) are all amazing. I can honestly say of the hundreds of employees, there is not one I disliked during my tenure. There is an amazing sense or comradery , and a lot of these people have been not only coworkers but friends for a long time.

Cons

The cons begin a few years ago. Someone from another company in the area (NB coatings) received a job here of pretty solid influence (I'm being specifically very vague so as not to be removed as I believe this information is very important for current and future employees). This person soon started filling every desirable position that came up with castoffs from their former employer. Two such employees regularly slept amongst their comrades who had been working for the company for long tenures. It became clear later that these two employees had a lucrative new job opening in the company before it was even announced and no current employees were even interviewed for these highly desired positions. Since this point every management position that has opened with two exceptions (out of 7 by my count), has been filled by another person migrating from the aforementioned company. There is no respect given to the men and women who have bled and sweated for that company for years. There is a definite bullying feel that is exuded by this clique. They run off anyone who exposes their ineptitude one way or the other.

Pros

There are no pros

Cons

The environment sucks, the pay sucks (for what they put you through), and most of all, the ppl suck. There is absolutely no team work at all. Management gives a bunch of BS busy work with no purpose & watches your every move like you're a child. Even though there is absolutely no initiatives to move up, when you try to move up and go for a higher position, they look at you like you're crazy and hire someone from outside of the company, which tells me that they don't even value their own employees. Most of all the people who have been there for years have no respect for one another, have no clue what diversity even means, and are lazy as hell. There is no amount of money that they could ever pay me to come back. I leaned nothing from working in this dead end position.
