Pros

Steady Work, Great Fellow Workers

Cons

Management does'nt listen to employees. Alot of favortism and "Good ole Boy" practices. Plant Manager is only seen once a month along with HR Manager. HR is one sided Unrealistic forecasts which makes for alot of over time 10hrs a day 6-7 days a week for months. Promotions are based on who you know or if you belong to a clique. Ethics and Policies are only enforced when it benefits Management Not Employees. No room for advancement. Employees thoughts, ideas and complaints are ignored as if they don't know anything. People who are placed in Management, Lead, Quality positions have no idea about the product. Employee appraisals are unfair. Management evaluations are designed to make them look good. Management does'nt care about employees or family life. Upper Management are the only ones rewarded for a good job or meeting a set goal. All of Management from Plant Manager down needs to be replaced. Everything that the employees enjoy about this plant is taken away. Pay increases are not fair.
