      Pros

      I enjoyed the company stock option, and the location in Pittsburgh. The company continues to do well and there is not a lot of worry for job security.

      Cons

      Way too many levels to get things done. I had to constantly fight to get things accomplished and there were some people who did nothing but got away with it because of seniority.

      Pros

      You can learn a lot about this industry by working here, get certified (ASQ, 6 Sigma) for free, and they pay 90% of college tuition and books. As of now weekend/over-time work is low so you should have enough time for studying and life in general. Benefits are good but salaries are low. Currently management seems to be looking into it and has taken steps forward to better the salaries but people are cautiously optimistic. For those without a college degree living near the area, you probably wont find another job that will start you over $15 an hour and offer to send you to school.

      Cons

      Work/life balance was almost non-existent until people threatened management with a union (it actually went that far). Employees must be really, really patient when it comes to opportunities (career & education) and put up with bad a bad company culture in the mean time. This culture is bad for two reasons: 1) Good employees are sometimes taken advantage of and over worked until they end up leaving the company. 2) Employees who get through the day by doing the minimum but befriend the manager end up with "Excellent" reviews at the end of the year. Half of these people end up bragging to others about their year end reviews (and raises) which further encourages the good employees to leave.
