Pros

The people I have worked with have been pleasant and knowledgeable. The company is growing, which provides significant opportunity for those who seek advancement inside, and outside their career fields. Challenge management works with their employees to create a successful working environment if the individual voices a need for change. Overall, Challenge provides a great work-to-life ratio, and many of it's employees are invested, and want to do their best to continue the forward momentum the company has gained.

Cons

Annual reviews for employees paid on salary are not standard practice. Although, if the employee requests a review, they will receive one. Challenge does not have a strong HR department. Communication throughout the company is lacking.

Pros

I enjoy working at Challenge. I have worked at two of the West Michigan plants. The company provides very competitive wages and benefits. . The people are good to work with. The company is employee owned and we all are able to share in our growth and success. The culture values fair and constant treatment for everyone.

Cons

The company has had a difficult time getting enough skilled people especially in tool and die. It is difficult to maintain the die and complete the PM's that are required.
