Pros

Great people. Potential to advance in various business areas. Great benefits and 401K. Cafeteria and fitness center onsite. Located in great area with easy access to major highways. Make a positive impact on the health of animals. Values community.

Cons

Limited in advancement on positions due to outsourcing departments and corporate located on East Coast. Some micro-management even with very experienced and mature employees. They take incredibly long to fill a position. Was told there was work/life balance when hired but there is not.

Pros

I was there for a year. Work Load was manageable. Staff were nice. Pay was reasonable. Actually my last year was before 2011, but no options for that.

Cons

There were some learning opportunities but nothing structured. Sometimes I was left without advice on technical stuff. I wanted to be better, but not sure what to do. I tried to go around the plant to learn the design and setup of the plant, but it was quite pointless at the end.
