      Better rollercoaster ride than Six Flags!

      Pros

      Great work force with some flexibility. The lower level employees is what kept me coming back. Location

      Cons

      • Benefits are way too expensive • Small old company • Executive Staff is more concerned with their golden parachute than the health of the company • Too many Directors, to which...most don't have a clue what they’re doing • Upper management is stuck in a silo and top down communication is nonexistent • Pay is relatively on the lower side and career advancement is slow • Building is old and the parking lot is a disaster • You'll hear "the company is healthy" then 3 months later there’s a 20% force reduction?? If you're contemplating working here...stop! Go to a real company, but if you enjoy rollercoaster rides…this place is perfect.

      Pros

      Many excellent people, both on the Shop Floor, and in Supervisory & lower level Management positions. For the most part, a good work environment where people do their best to help one another... Everyone (short of Senior Leadership) does their best to make a quality product with dated tools, no formal training or written work instructions. In spite of all this, they manage to deliver an amazing finished product!

      Cons

      Extremely poor Executive Team from the President & CEO on down through the Director ranks (with very few exceptions). No accountability of Senior Leadership to the "rank & file". No plan to actually fix any of the broken legacy processes; just Senior Leaders that look out for one another, with no real concern for the future of the company or the people. They "talk the talk", but totally fail when it comes to "walking the walk".
