Pros

Good benefits, employees are good people who truly want to get the job done. Product is good and desired by public.

Cons

Poor, almost non existent communication. Workers are forced overtime on a common basis. Do not expect a family life at this plant.

Pros

Coworkers are friendly. This company provides decent healthcare benefits and pay for the industry. Products sold to employees at discount prices.

Cons

Long, arduous hours. No family life since most holidays and weekends are spent in the plant. Total lack of consideration of most "worker bees". Most departments are short staffed to the point of burning out floor workers with excessive mandatory overtime. There is no job gratification nor recognition. Inconsistant employee raises, lack of clear direction and absolutely no management accountability for even major crisis events. Management competency levels are low and instead of attempting to resolve an issue, they often look for underling scapegoats to blame in almost any crisis situation. Bright, creative individuals are seen as a threat to manager positions, not utilized as a company asset. As a result, most of these talented individuals seek employment elsewhere. High turnover rates with floor personnel and especially first line supervisors. Very high pressure put on workers because mid/upper management generally has extremely poor decsion making skills. Many people are taking blood pressure meds to combat hypertension from the job. Many others simply eventually quit due to the mental strain.
