Business Outlook

Pros

Pay and time off is good.

Cons

Managers have no clue how to run a production facility with more then 3 lines. They show favortism daily. If your not one of the top 3 people who they are scared of they will railroad you until you leave.

Horrible company

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Difficult to come up with any due to such poor management of company.

Cons

Constantly told to manage business as an entrepreneur. However, every week told to manage in a different direction. Never consistent and management sways depending on last executive meeting held. If you challenge this method and approach, you are attacked for not being a team player. Bottom line, if someone does not like you, you will not be around very long.
