Pros

Great benefits and vacation time. Great products! Clean plant and updated machinery. Manufacturing works extremely hard to insure products are shipped out on or before due date!

Cons

"On-call" requirement 24/7 every few weeks without compensation for travel or personal time spent in office. Late hours required. Employees are considered as numbers not as people. Offices were checked weekly to insure that no personal items were displayed. Colleagues do not interact, treat each other callously.
