Great company. Each plant is its own entity. Not one plant is the same as the others.

Pros

Excellent Pay and Benefits. Annual Gain Share

Cons

Favoritism between employees and management that have come from other companies which in turn eliminates those that need to be held accountable. These issues are immediately noticed by current employees which in turn kills morale and eventually production/quality. Like adding gasoline to a fire. Great policy, great teaching and idea of culture but watch out for the buddy system. I really hate to speak of the company this way because it has not always been like this.
