      Pros

      Solid company with good benefits. The business unit I worked in was well run with good management. I would work there again.

      Cons

      Upper management had a bad reputation. This comment is based upon top level management and didn't necessarily apply to all levels of management, which were generally good based on my observations

      Pros

      Good benefits, some great shopfloor workers, can earn a decent salary ( if you put in the hours )

      Cons

      Management team need to gain better people skills, and stop putting the bullying no skills friends of there's in to jobs of under management ( supervisors ). When complaints are made about supervisor, need to be seen to do something about it, not just pushed under the carpet, and the person that made complaint moved or made redundant
