Pros

Benefits are good. That's about it.

Cons

HR stands for Human Resources, yet at this company, HR controls everything. If you simply voice a concern, you will be terminated from employment with the company. This company would rather hire workers with no experience, coming from a fast food job, over qualified candidates who have experience in the industry. After working here, I would be scared to fly on an airplane knowing that parts manufactured and produced here were on the plane. I used to think highly of this company, and this company used to have a great reputation, however, after working here, I would never consider this place great, and would not even recommend it to my worst enemy.

Pros

-Fancy new campus. -2 weeks of initial vacation (with option to buy additional week). -Free Coffee. -Chance at a bonus (yearly). -Friendly co-workers.

Cons

-Hires temps over keeping long term employees. -Everyone is treated as replaceable. -Unskilled leadership. -Uncoordinated goals (advancement). -Unutilized talent everywhere you look. -Overworked staff. -Favoritism. -Promises for better wages and never delivered. When I first started here, I began with glowing ambitions. I really wanted to shine brighter than any other employee. I put in the extra work, all the overtime, pushed production to it's limits to produce the most possible product possible. I was hired on as an official member at 6 months, which was a boost of confidence as I felt it wouldn't ever happen. Spent the next year trying my hardest to work on special projects for my supervisor, going above and beyond. I was promised a level advancement, over and over. They kept asking more and more from me, but insisted that I was a top performer. Giving me the cold shoulder, stealing ideas from me, etc. Finally, when I was sure my supervisor hated me as he never talked to me, I was given a shining review! I was promised a level advancement once more, but with a two month deadline. What happened to the deadline? Oh, my supervisor was fired. Then he was replaced with a higher up. Who was too fired. Then we moved to the new facility (WLC). Then I was bounced between two new supervisors until I finally received my level advancement! It was only 8 months late. You know what's the best part?! No increase. Yep, the harder you work, the more time you put in, the more money you make them, it'll never translate for you! I was given a new title and nothing else. There is no merit in that. "Thanks for all the hard work! Here's a gold star" would have worked to the same effect.
