Appealing on the surface but plenty of not so good surpises

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are pretty good, Some flexibility in the salary work force, interesting work, they are willing to pay for some online training and some great people here.

Cons

Difficult to balance home and work. Expect to support operations even if you have no bearing on the output (facetime) on all shifts, weekends, holidays, and even your granted vacations. High leadership turnover, 30+%. 14 GMs in 13 years. Safety issues apparent just walking through the plants. Frontline leadership is weak from all the verbal beatings. Poor morale in the workforce.

High press and lots of work, but worth it.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great employee stock purchase option. Quarterly bonuses. Great career growth opportunities. Holds MECOP positions so you get a good mix of senior employees to interns.

Cons

Twenty four hour operation so phone calls can come any time. Never received a phone call in the middle of the night though. High pressure to meet tight deadlines.

One of the worst companies on the planet!

Pros

The pay is good and the benefits are ok.

Cons

In the 2 years I have been here we have gone through 4 GM's! Everyone quits because the president of the company is a nightmare. The plant is unsafe, the conditions are awful, the plan for the business doesn't make sense, there is no thought about next week or next quarter it is only about today's production and meeting your numbers. Overall, this is the worst place I have ever worked (I'm resigning in a week or so).
