Pros

The pay was decent. The benefits were great. The facility is nice. Some of the employees are nice.

Cons

Very horrible experience working here. Was completely thrown into my role with little to no training. Was told it would be better work/life balance and would often pull 10 to 12 hour days. They were VERY unorganized and HORRIBLE at communicating. They had unrealistic expectations as well as inconsistent expectations for employees. Some people on the team could leave early while others couldn’t. Some people could come in late and others couldn’t. Bottom line, once they are ready to get rid of you, they will do it very quickly without any chance to improve or any feedback during your time there. I was blindsided when they let me go and that has happened to at least four other people that I know of. You will have no social life if you work here unless you are on the plant floor. Very disappointed it ended the way it did because I was proud to work there at first and had a lot of hopes that we could get my department to a successful state but sadly I doubt that will ever happen.

Pros

Company culture is good. Benefits are pretty good. Engineers that work there are all good people. And people outside your department are willing to help out when needed. Company is constantly growing in a market that doesn't have any decline in growth anytime soon, so job security is great.

Cons

Benefits are getting better but still not great. Working in an operations related role can be stressful, but it helps that the team is overall good to work with.
