      Keep chipping away at pay

      Pros

      Benefits are reasonable. But you pay more for them each year.

      Cons

      Most resent company profits are up 12% yet they have chipped away and the "total compensation" bonus. Used to get 7.5% based on corporate EPS. Now they add all kinds of fuzzy demands to each group, knocking it down to 3%. Raises generally 2%/year. Layoffs everywhere even with good returns. Expect employees to do "more with less". We are slaves 24/7. Corporate values are nothing but lip service. No investment in new products.

      Pros

      I really can't think of any anymore unless your new to the company or your in an indirect position. If you work on the production lines and make the product then your just a piece of equipment for this company. The pay is good for the area but not what is should be. Bonus used to be so much better but when your CEO makes more in his bonus then he gets in base pay it's not surprsing.

      Cons

      Corporate America at its best. An over bloated micro managing management team that seems to get more bloated by the day but they preach lean manufacturering. And the majority of the management seems to not know what's going on a majority of the time. Benifits used to be a lot better but are still better then most. If your new coming from a lower paying job you'll love it here till you get a little seniority and then you see how little they reward hardwork and doing above and beyond. Then you see just how greedy and corrupt this place has gotten.

      A caste system

      Pros

      OK benefits but have been cut every year for the past few, blaming Obamacare wearing thin. Recently kicked spouses off the benefit package

      Cons

      If you are part of the elite (directors, VPs) you can do well, big bucks and they have amazingly extravagant leadership trips twice a year. If you aren't the elite, good luck. The past six years raises have not met the inflation rate. If you complain the mantra is: "be glad you even have a job" Complete separation of the management from the workers, if someone hadn't pointed out the sales director to me I wouldn't know who it was,
