      Not what they used to be...

      Pros

      Great people. Opportunity to learn a lot on the job. For anyone interested in manufacturing it used to be one of the best places to work. Now they are outsourcing everything which will hurt overall quality and value years down the road. Competitive salaries.

      Cons

      Absolutely no work life balance. "Values in Action" are no longer active at many facilities. Cyclic layoffs and many poor choices made my leadership. Many experts are leaving which should be a clue to management/leadership. Even though tuition assistance is advertised it is nearly impossible to get approved. Very antiquated, "good ole boys" work environment.

      Once great

      Pros

      Good pay and a large company with opportunities to move and progress in different job roles without leaving the company.

      Cons

      The company used to really seem to care about their employees. Over the years they have slowly cut the benefits and programs that made them great (pension, health care, etc). They seem to be under a combination of market lows and bad management. Morale around the company is dwindling and people are jumping ship quickly.

      Pros

      Good pay. However benefits are getting worst each year. Company reduced the product cost Good opportunity inside company to move around.

      Cons

      Executive management made wrong decisions. Company is less diversified and pay too much for new requisitions. Benefits are not compatiable anymore.
