Pros

COMEDY - We literally paid a consulting team MILLIONS of dollars to revamp and BRAND our company after we spun off Alcoa...what did we get??? This wonderful logo....it is INITECH from the movie Office Space!! HAHAHA!! I was there when we were soliciting logo, brands, ideas from our employees..and although I appreciated the one internal suggestion to rename our company "Prestige Worldwide" it doesn't come close to the fact that we paid a consulting firm to copy a logo from a movie about a company that LITERALLY and FIGURATIVELY burned to the ground. Now that Elliot Management is in charge and we have a new CEO from the WORST performing company last year (GE)...I can't wait to see how the firings go!!!

Cons

Horrible culture, 40 years behind most Fortune 500 companies. No Paternity Leave for fathers. If you are female you will make MUCH less than your counterparts. Lies, lies, and lies.

Pros

Good benefits including a strong 401k match. The company places a real emphasis on safety, which is important in a manufacturing environment. There are opportunities for professional development and advancement for employees who are motivated and willing to take on additional responsibility. Many teams have experienced employees with strong technical knowledge, and there are chances to learn a lot about large-scale manufacturing operations. Overall a stable company with structured processes and clear expectations.

Cons

The culture can feel somewhat typical of a large corporation, with a strong focus on metrics and production targets. Some strategic decisions can feel short-term focused, which can create frustration at the operational level. Communication between leadership and employees is not always consistent. Like many manufacturing companies, employees can sometimes feel more like part of the system than individuals.
