Pros

clean, modern facility. in the last few years plant has expanded tremendously and we stay busy, safety is a priority with management. not too strenuous most of the time. rotating shifts monthly so no one gets the shaft. pay scales were recently redone so pay is more transparent and fair.

Cons

as a previous reviewer stated, promotions depend on who you know, not experience or technical skills. I've seen too many instances of the good old boy network in action. good people have left because they see no path up. morale has suffered as a result

Pros

Money, money, money, money, money, money They pay for work shoes once each year For the most part, supervisors are good people

Cons

Everything but the 3 Pros mentioned. Sexual harassment is tolerated and excused by HR, no punishment is given, regardless if it is the first offense or if someone is a repeat offender. Upper management picks and chooses different discipline, depending on the person/people involved, even if the same rule is broken by each employee. Management and HR in the Pacific, MO plant seems to think they are better than everyone else and treat the employees as such. If, for any reason, you choose to get a job in this place, watch your back, ALWAYS. Numbers are more important than customers satisfaction and employee safety and wellbeing. They are only concerned with customer satisfaction and quality if customers are upset and threatening to take their work away. Employees are treated extremely poorly, it is obvious that employees are not cared about, unless you happen to be "in the back pocket" of certain other employees. Culture is bad!!! Not sure they understand the meaning of a good work culture.

Pros

Good people work at this company, and I have seen several move up in the ranks. In general, it is a positive, friendly and productive work environment. Free coffee is a plus, too.

Cons

The on-boarding and training process could improve.
