Pros

The training is top notch, and the people are great.

Cons

The culture is terrible, there were no new hires for over 8 years and upper management did not listen to feedback from customers or employees.

Pros

The pay and retirement programs are competitive.

Cons

The lack of organization, communication, planning, accountability, process knowledge and proper training is astonishing. That's just to name a few of the problems. All these concerns aren't just on the production floor, but yet they span all levels. I would suggest exhausting all other options and only take a job here as a last resort. It is, without question, the most poorly ran organization I have ever seen.
