Minor leaguers trying to play with the pros

Pros

People - Some of the best people around. Many have left recently which is sad. Hope - Change (positive) is needed. Everyone knows it. There is still hope it might happen someday.

Cons

Upper management - Still trying to run the company like it is a $300M HWY 59 company vs. the $2B global company it is now. Hopelessness - Positive change will not occur until there are changes with top management. Giving incompetent people more power and influence is not a good business plan. I'll stop here.

Pros

good product. they provide hourly work to people is rural area.(very low pay but still work in an are with not much else)

Cons

Where to start? A lot of management works here for a reason. Most would never make it anywhere else. Very low class. Absolutely no career plan, don't think they even know what that is. HR will end up getting sued soon. Lying to recruiter employees isn't right, starting off with the location and job the employees will be doing. No drug testing brings in an interesting crowd. Racism and misconduct is allover the manufacturing floor and HR things its funny. They don't pay for driving your own car, even after one month, 7 days a week and over 130 miles per day. My car sure did like that. Company over all is way behind in every level. They like people that present well and run their mouth and ignore the once that get the job done and keep the company going. They had the nerve to tell an employee to stand by a machine and open the door to push the part back on if its about to fall off. When they got busted by OSHA they blamed the employee and moved him to a different line. Its not safe to work here. One of the reason I left is they were ignoring my warning about the chemicals they are using. Some of the manufacturing work is no better then China level. Why do you require Engineers to dress professionally and tell them to do maintenance work??? Do you know how much close is ruined per year? There is a very strong old boys club but very low class, and a big hinder to the growth of the company.

Flexible schedule and pretty good at promoting internal.

At times an individual can feel like a number rather than a person.
