      Great place if you like working 7 days a week.

      Pros

      Above Average pay for the area. Union shop. Employees can purchase 2nds several times a month. The investment company that owns Hoffmaster has spent some money on new equipment.

      Cons

      No vacation for new hires for at least 1 year. Could be almost 2 years depending on when you start. No personal time for at least a year either. Plan on working lots of overtime especially during the summer months. Could be 52-68 hours a week. 10-15 years behind the times. Some equipments 40-50 years old. Managers / Value Stream are nothing more than yes men who have no idea what they are doing. Nothing more than clipboard managers. The place is pretty much run by the seat of their pants.

      Pros

      Some fun coworkers. Opportunities for advancement... if you kiss butt.

      Cons

      Hard worker, doesn't matter. Good at your job, doesn't matter. Great with time management, doesn't matter. What does matter is staying late. That will get you promoted. If you could have all your work done by 4, don't do it. Stretch that out until 7 that way upper management sees your face there and thinks, "now that's a hard-worker right there." Boom your promoted. Also, extreme amounts of favoritism at that place. It's really quite astonishing. Sure, every workplace has it, but man, it's through the roof there. My advice for making it there, pucker up, set your family aside, stay late(even if you don't need to), hang out in your bosses office a lot, become a favorite. Straight to the top!

      Pros

      Office parties, few really nice and talented employees.

      Cons

      Be aware and/or prepared to deal with office cliques in this company. It’s All Politics, talent and hard work will not get you anywhere.
