      Pros

      Technology is as good as other factories.

      Cons

      US vs. Them mentality culture. Not a good team environment. Upper management does not listen. Company does not honor yearly hire date (Means nothing to them). No yearly evaluation process or program in place, not even a cost of living raise of any kind for salary employees. So whether you walk on water or perform average, you are paid the same. If you are fired, they do not honor earned vacation days in severance. In fact there is no severance pay.

      Good company and employee ownership, tough launch now

      Pros

      Good training and brand new equipment. Management is pretty good and getting better. Recent changes has been positive. Compared to other companies managements Ive worked for I believe can trust these guys. Sheffler is a good when he comes in from Michigan. Also were employee-owned so that is different than other places ive been

      Cons

      Lots of hours and overtime. Plant is going through a launch for GM so it’s a hectic and long day sometimes. Communication could be better about overtime and hours. People seem to get opportunities based on how they work and attitude not seniority. That can be a pro or con. Again the work hours are tough with the launch but I hope and think its not forever.
