Pros

Great benefits in all vectors. The company has all of the right tools and programming needed to get the job done.

Cons

Unreal overtime demanded from April to September. Also the seniority basis for which vacation and other time is based means that you have to wait 10 or more years to get a long weekend off for a holiday because someone with more seniority already has them marked off. That was one of the main reasons I left. Also it matters who you went to high school with. An outsider will not get the chance to move up the same as someone who schooled with the boss / supervisor.

Pros

Career advancement was excellent. I had the opportunity to move up the chain of command and was well respected throughout the entire process. Upper management was very knowledgeable in the activities necessary to stay competitive in this marketplace. Excellent job addressing first to market challenges and becoming a leader in new product introductions! Cabinet, countertop, deck products are magnificent!

Cons

Like all companies long hours and weekends
