      Interesting and challenging work, but zero rewards for it.

      Pros

      Job is interesting. Have learned a over my years in different departments.

      Cons

      Executive level management has no idea what some of the most critical departments do. Merit and bonus pay can be yanked with no forewarning to employees or even their supervisors.

      Pros

      Good pay is the only pro.

      Cons

      The mandatory over time is getting ridiculous. The life to work ratio is unacceptable. Mandatory 71 hours a week with a family at home is unacceptable. The supervisors being rude is unacceptable. You do not get any sleep. You do not get any time to do squat with your life or family. This is no place for a human being. They may as well make robots for this job. Hell I’d even feel bad for the robots! All this company cares about is their money. And putting people on 12 hour shifts for more than 60 days straight in July just to make their quota. If you love being treated like absolute crap and hate being home than this is the place for you.

      Bad place to work. VP/GM is a malignant narcissist.

      Pros

      It's out in the country.

      Cons

      Long hours. Expected to be available 24/7/365 or as the VP and CEO put it, "if you aren't sick to your stomach 24/7 about this place...then we don't need you here."
