Pros

Management. All in all, management is making improvements. They are going away with old ways of doing things and making changes that are impacting the overall production process. I really like being part of all the positive changes that are happening.

Cons

The company needs to take care of its employees. Some people work too much and do not have time to do anything outside of work. Also, full benefits do not kick in until after a year of employment if hired directly. Additionally, people that have been here for far too long continue to drag the company behind, I believe we also need to part ways with people that do not want to change.

Pros

Compassionate organization with a wonderful C Suite and corporate management team. This group provides excellent support to the plant facilities. They are area experts in their fields and they go out of their way to continuously find ways to improve and streamline our processes. Safety is number one priority and the safety team is top notch. Solid benefits package with very competitive employee contributions for health insurance coverage. Great group of individuals working at the Hauppauge, NY facility, many of whom have been here for decades. Lots of opportunities for the next generation of associates who are advancing in their careers at this facility. OBE has locations throughout the US and Canada and we love to keep talent within the family, so it you eventually want to relocate, there is the potential to stay with us. Excellent training resources available to talent. Great new CEO. Smart guy and genuine. He's not in his ivory tower, he's out their talking to the talent at all levels to understand what our challenges are. That means a lot. He and his team support a compassionate culture.

Cons

We are manufacturers of custom architectural glass products. Our lead times are short and our product fragile. We really need to "make it right" the first time and deliver it intact. When we don't, this means everyone has to work harder and longer. Some days are longer than you'd like.
