Pros

One of the only reasons I'm still there is because I have some great co-workers. The pay and benefits are acceptable too, but barely worth the headaches this place gives me.

Cons

Poor communication throughout the company. Management doesn't treat people like people. Worried more about production numbers so they can get their bonuses.
