Pros

- Regular Paycheck - No one pays attention you whether you actually do any work. - You can leave the building for hours on end while you are suppose to be "supervising" and there is no accountability for your absence. - If you are related to another employee that works for the company, you can be hired with no real experience.

Cons

- In the Frederick, CO location, there is a tremendous lack of concern for safety. Safety concerns that are brought to management are ignored. Accidents are not discussed and no changes are made to prevent future problems. - There is an extreme reluctance from management to facilitate change. - Quality systems need to be revised to more current standards, however management will not entertain "new" ideas. - Promotions are done based on favoritism and "going with the flow". Those who present innovative ideas or suggest process improvements are blacklisted.

Pros

Great rank and file folks with good hearts and minds are holding the place together, but barely.

Cons

Zero investment in innovation. Company functions from quarter to quarter with no long term vision. They are slowly dying on the vine and over a decade behind on basic internal serving and external customer technology. Self serving senior leaders across the board. Most going along to save their own livelihoods. Those that challenge the status quo are quickly ushered out, resulting in a revolving door of good leaders, and depressing work culture.
