Pros

Decent benefits (401k match is pretty good, good medical and dental/vision), good vacation and holidays, Plenty of overtime even double time . Some security.

Cons

Very unprofessional , unorganized, and frustrating. Poor leadership. Hillbilly manufacturing and engineering processes, combined with equipment from decades past . CoorsTek appears to be saving alot of money by "making it up on the fly". Although the resulting burden on the employees causes a lot of frustration . Do not expect any career growth . A lot of temporary employees .

Pros

The work could be interesting at times. Given the lack of depth within the company, it was easy to be a "shining star". Management also had a tendency to focus on themselves and generally left the rank and file employees alone. The location was beautiful, its Golden Colorado. It was kinda nice when you accrued vacation time. You could either roll it over to the next year or cash it in. Nice perk when you sacrificed vacation time for getting production out the door. That disappeared in another "cost cutting" measure though. Given the economic melt down, having a job was the biggest reason for staying. The fact that CoorsTek cut their staffing to the bone made everyone left essential.

Cons

The focus of the company is making money for the Coors family. Period, end of discussion. The direction of the company seems to vacillate back and forth, losing and then gaining focus. The pay is decent, in line with local averages. The medical leaves a lot to be desired, basically catastrophic high deductible. No pension, good match on 401........when they didn't yank it to save money. I've worked for about 10 companies in the past thirty years. Coorstek probably ranks in the lower half. With the economy strengthening came the opportunity to get the hell out of dodge. I got a new job with a 20% salary bump. I gave 2 weeks notice and was promptly escorted off the premises. So much for respecting the employee.
