Pros

Benefits and vacation day 1 are a plus, overtime opportunities, 10 paid holidays, some employees there for over 40 years.

Cons

Oh boy, there's a lot. First of all there is no real training, at least in my area of the plant. Team leaders will throw new employees on a press with a set-up tech for training while knowing that the tech will have to leave several times during the day. I had better training at Burger King, both job and safety related. If you get hurt on the job, they yell at you for "not being safe" even though they won't teach you proper procedures. HR is a laughing stock, team leaders are more worried about baseball scores rather than the job at hand, there's never any profit sharing checks that they promise you and; they'll have you working directly below roofers, plumbers, and electricians. Overall, no one cares about you. You just make snowblowers.

Pros

Great experience to build your resume, mostly due to a lack of clear role definitions and being asked to do tasks outside of your scope of work. The engineering department is full of dedicated workers just trying to survive the whims of the Ariens children.

Cons

"Be Honest" - Upper management lies and intentionally misleads employees "Be Fair" - There are huge discrepancies in pay and responsibilities for the same job titles "Respect the individual" - Long hours and "unspoken expectations" make you feel like a number that's only as good as the amount of slop you can deliver "Encourage intellectual curiosity" - There was never anytime to try anything new or come up with multiple solutions let alone do anything innovative.
