Pros

Excellent health insurance coverage, fair salary, interesting line of work with potential to be far better than it's current status.

Cons

Salary/management personnel are tricked from the very get go of employment. Upper management believe that everybody in the company does not have a life outside of the company, making personnel work 6-7 days a week, not allowing for much personal time with family. Salary employees who are hired for managerial and operations positions are forced to take on roles that include that of painting, cleaning, labor and various other tasks that are supposed to be that of the maintenance and janitorial staff, all in the reasoning of avoiding having to pay overtime to hourly staff. Why are crew leaders and salaried employees painting, doing hi-lo maintenance, and other facility maintenance projects? This is why you have a maintenance and janitorial staff to begin with. Company is improperly ran and wastes money due to outdated or lack of technology. Whereas other manufacturing companies utilize the benefits of databases, scanners, and other equipment, AJM still relies on 1960's carbon paper usage and a billing software from the early 1990's, which would normally be used in a small, 2-3 person office, not in a company that has several facilities in 5 states. The owner is awful and treats his personnel more like slaves than people. Have paid witness to him blowing up on staff and berating them in front of other personnel. Not a very healthy and uplifting work environment.

Pros

Do not have to pay for Health Insurance Great Supply Chain organization - really hits the target well considering no one in manufacturing has a clue

Cons

There are no solid processes what so ever. The schedule is printed on a white board throughout the day and is never close to being accurate. Incredible waste, you would think that after making plates for 60 years, they would have figured out how have more product than waste. There is no control of over inventory, they like to do physical counts each and every day. Questionable OSHA practices - for example they paint machines 20 feet from where they manufacture the plates. There is no ventilation and exhaust is blown into the parking lot. No respect for employees on any level. They are unable to provide clear direction regarding processes, schedule yet blame the workers making a salary of 26K / yr working 7 eights with no OT. To sum it up - Inefficient, redundant processes that provide no value, dirty - there are way too places out there to take a chance at this place, unless of course you are an illegal resident -
