Pros

Clean, new machines, generous breaks, easy work. Good entry level job to get in to the cnc trade. Not a career though by any means.

Cons

Layoffs with no notice or severance pay, mediocre benefits, pay is about 10-15K BELOW the industry standard. Upper management truly does not care about the employees, they literally screw you every single chance they get. If you dont know someone you are not going anywhere

Sense of community, lack of compensation.

Pros

Generally a very positive work environment: all employees are friendly and helpful. Decent interaction between CEO and the workforce. Good benefits.

Cons

Pay grades are generally below average. Bonuses, while relatively prevalent in the past, are slim now; this could be attributed to the current MSR market. Profit sharing is nonexistant.

Pros

Employee discounts on rifles.

Cons

Once the merger went down, you have Black Creek employees who think they are better than the Ridgeland employees. We built the rifles in Ridgeland and nearly every single part of the rifle. Ridgeland shiped every single rifle! Black Creek did barrels only, why would they think they are so great? You can come to work on any given day and it may be your last. If you attend church with the owners you will never be laid off, if not you are not part of the “A” Group. HR will tell you a lie to your face.
