Pros

Pay, benefits, most people. Employee stock program has been wonderful. Climate controlled facility.

Cons

Work life balance is horrible. Upper Management did nothing to prepare for the work load over a year ago. Now they are scrambling to make it work. They have came up with a plan in the last recent 6 months to implement the 12 hr work day and the 7 day work week. That should solve all problems. We are already working 7 days a week and getting nowhere fast. Upper Management says hourly folk will love it. We cannot sustain the levels of production because they are not aloud to spend money on equipment we need and most of all the talent level we need. Promised us 10 years ago nothing would change in the way company was operated. Everything has changed we are not valued employees anymore, we are machines (pawns as you will) for the upper echelon to get their big bonus checks and stock options. Hourly employees barely get a raise anymore.

Pros

The honest truth is if you show up to work everyday and do the best you can do at your job, then you will advance quickly. When I started here I knew no one, but with proving I'm willing to do what is needed to get the job done, I have been offered more and more. Great benefits plan, and excellent management.

Cons

Most of the workers here don't seem to understand what its like to work for a larger corporation. yes there are flaws, there are flaws at ANY job, and believe me when I say there ARE a lot worse places to work.
