Pros

Only good for resume building. A good first job straight out of college but it's a springboard.. .no one stays longer than 2 years. Good people

Cons

Pay is much lower than industry average Everyone argues that the benefits aren't that great, no sick time only pto. Had a chemical spill that was poorly handeled. Poor managers-they're scientists, not managers and have no training.

The Benefits, 401k, stock, pto (although they could dish more), company events like picnics, family events and promotional events like the sparrow health days and Red Cross blood donations

Cons

Management is terrible and you get treated like you don't know anything, they don't train anyone properly, the pay sucks, not enough promotion or pay upgrades available...it's like a family plan they only push the people they like into promotions and they have wayyyy to much overtime and not enough time with family
