Pros

Great company. It is very easy to get time off as long as you give a week in advance for them to change the schedule. This is very helpful since I am still in school.

Cons

There are some very dramatic people at my particular location that are never really reprimanded for the drama that they cause. Also, people call in sick 10 minutes before their shift with no time to locate a replacement, therefore doubling the workload on everyone else.

Pros

Company name looks great on your resume. You have the chance to learn a lot from such an established company. Company has manufacturing plants at locations all over the country. Aged mid-level and senior management staff which should open up opportunities for growth soon.

Cons

Old school management style with all of the screaming, threatening and cursing. Nepatism runs rampid in this company. It is all about who you know in order to advance in this company. If you do too good of a job in your position, you can get "stuck" there by your manager because they may not want to have to replace you if you advance on to anther position. Unfortunately if you are not an Ohio State grad you will have a more difficult time advancing in the company. Lots of promoting because of job tenure instead of job skills, experience and education. Lots of young educated production supervisors leave the company in less than two years because they see no room to advance. Pay compensation for management is below industry average.
