Pros

Great family run business. Owners are genuine and interact with associates. Plant leadership not so much

Cons

Decisions are made in Silos. Young engineers are put in situations they are not ready for. Associate Morale is very low. Several department heads are on a power grab. Failure to recognize the good in people. Lots of Drama. Work family balance is skewed to the work side. Many things unethical do not get addressed.

Horrible Experience Working Here

Pros

The pay was decent. The benefits were great. The facility is nice. Some of the employees are nice.

Cons

Very horrible experience working here. Was completely thrown into my role with little to no training. Was told it would be better work/life balance and would often pull 10 to 12 hour days. They were VERY unorganized and HORRIBLE at communicating. They had unrealistic expectations as well as inconsistent expectations for employees. Some people on the team could leave early while others couldn’t. Some people could come in late and others couldn’t. Bottom line, once they are ready to get rid of you, they will do it very quickly without any chance to improve or any feedback during your time there. I was blindsided when they let me go and that has happened to at least four other people that I know of. You will have no social life if you work here unless you are on the plant floor. Very disappointed it ended the way it did because I was proud to work there at first and had a lot of hopes that we could get my department to a successful state but sadly I doubt that will ever happen.

Solid Company

Pros

Decent pay for the area, Matching 401k, BSBS insurance, local company

Cons

Disconnect between managers and workers. Workers are considered a lower kind of person. high deductible for insurance, 6 Day weeks all the time. very litigious environment, workers suing company for minor slights by coworkers or company managers. Sometimes seems that workers are in a competition to do less than the other worker. Definitely not a team environment as management likes to claim. Extremely strict absentee policy. They penalize you even for doctors visits. 1 point out of a total of 8 for the year, speeding ticket, 1 point. late .5 points.
