Pros

Equipment was easy to work on. Co-workers were nice.

Cons

Very low pay for the amount they wanted you to know. Every aspect of management were condescending to their employees, and treated them like lower class citizens. Extremely low pay for non-skilled trades employees, and witnessed them be treated like children. Very demoralizing to watch.

Pros

You can get hired because they will take anybody

Cons

Management is very unprofessional. I have worked for more than 10 companies in my lifetime. I am in my late 50s and had a drugged up kid in his 20s as my 2nd shift lead. His exact words were "who cares if it's wrong, it will get fixed during warranty, we need numbers" Management loves him. Why do we need the numbers instead of quality? The warehouse is over filled.

Pros

People are good, hard-working, smart people

Cons

Sr. Management thinks only of Sr. Mgt. and their success and doesn't care about the success of it's Directors and other middle management. They hire talent but don't let them use that talent. It's all about whatever tactic you can execute the fastest to check a box and no regard if it's even right. To survive, you have to be all about yourself and willing to put others down, even if it's not accurate, so you can still look good. Not sure how these people aren't seen through but it seems to work. If you don't mind working in this cut-throat environment where there is no regard for an ability to develop a strong team or work as a team, then this is the place for you.
