Pros

*Company invests in technology *Nice work environment *Professional co-workers *Great insurance and benefits *Definitely follow their mission statement

Cons

*Lots of meaningless training (i.e., we had to have sexual harrassment training for an office full of men) *Internally developed software - takes years to actually work properly, if ever. *QMS - Quality Management System lost its sight and has become a finger pointing mechanism. Does not account that humans will make mistakes. This causes terrible morale. *Compensation is much lower than most building material manufacturers. *Has become more operationally driven than sales driven. This is bad for customers. *Internal audits are a major waste of time. (They send in recently college graduates to tell me how I was doing running my business wrong. I have several years of experience)

Pros

Direct manager cares and has goals in place to help improve the department. The core team is made up of great people that work well together.

Cons

Seems like the plant director is actively and intentionally making the entire plant worse. Zero accountability for disrespecting hourly workers even when it's brought to management's attention. Supervisors have completely checked out and refuse to provide the help needed for their people to succeed. Nonexistent advancement opportunities unless you go to church with or are friends with certain managers. Cliquey front office and improper use of employee information. Little to no diversity in management roles. There is a single manager that's a POC and he's their most recent hire.
