Pros

One thing I love about working here is that most of the management roles have been filled by employees who have previously come from the shop floor. The ability to advance from within is a huge green flag, and certainly shows others that it can be done if you put your head down, work hard, and become an expert at your craft. Also, current leadership has made it a huge priority over the last several years to flip the culture on the floor. Between employee lunches, Packer boards, food trucks, etc., it's a drastic change form where we were 5-7 years ago, and it's become a fun place to go to work.

Cons

Nothing that stands out to be honest.
