Pros

Not many - Benefits are ok. Close to home

Cons

Overall a classless organization. Leadership is seriously lacking. The old guard needs to go because they have no concept of how to manage a business or how to deal with people. Every time someone new new who can make positive changes comes in, they run them off. The only hope for this place is if parent company takes over and gets rid of all the Manufacturing Leadership. They are all part of a "click" and do everything they can to keep everyone out. There is a serious lack of fiscal responsibility and questionable ethics. All Management seems to worry about is when they are going to get to go on their next trip to Japan or France or if they will get to fly business class or first class. Technology is poor and most people don't even work or have computer. Bottom line - All Managers talk a good game, but there is no action at all. Such a disappointment

Pros

It's a healthy, positive, uplifting environment to be part of. There is a lot of internal support and a family atmosphere.

Cons

Depending on the department, there can be some people looking for themselves. For the most part, that is not the case though.
