Pros

The pay is high for work. Benefit package is ok, and theres good incentive to live healthy. HR is good at her job, and she acts professional

Cons

There seems to be a disconnect between management and the hourly employees. Pay is the same for everyone, mostly. Training is lacking in many ways.

Business Outlook

Pros

The employees are great to work with, and they know what they are doing. Pay is really good and the benefits are also good. The quality manager is honest and she welcomes input from her employees. The supervisors in production are loyal to their employees, and step up when needed.

Cons

Communication could be better, but the management team is getting better. It's virtually impossible to move up, because of the size of the location. This not the company's fault, it just happens to be a small plant.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay starting Medical dental, and vision Profit sharing Plenty of overtime (if you want) Good training 401k Plenty of room to advance

Cons

Plenty of overtime (even if you don't want) unobtainable goals with personal and equipment on hand (This can lead to frustration) Some management has a disconnect with the job and a feasible timeline. You have to stay in a job a year to be able to transfer. You don't like your job? To bad if you want to keep working there you'll have to stick with it for a year. Work life balance is terrible (Do not recommend to single parents)
