Pros

Health Insurance, company vehicle, some training opportunities, co-workers are great people.

Cons

Company expects more than they compensate, little to no pay increases, no work life balance, high turnover, management is often in their position because of who they know versus their knowledge and ability to manage. Management shoots from the hip, need to know and understand the department and jobs they are managing.

They are based out of Brownsville, WI so all of the Human Resources, Legal, Tax, IT, etc. professionals are required to be at the home base. They use GPS tracking and speedometers in every company owned vehicle. Work life balance is office to office.
