Pros

Simple work, easy to learn multiple jobs

Cons

As with any manufacturing plant, office people matter and all of the hourlies are second class citizens. On hot days they take temprature readings near the nice air conditioned offices so you wont get breaks for being in a 120 degree plant. They pay horrible, less horrible now but still horrible. Busy season is six day weeks, with 9 hour days, then the lay offs start (like clockwork every year). Vacation is bad, attendance standards are okay, favoritism is a part of daily life here. Impossible to advance as an hourly. Coworkers have an 'I'll see if i feel like working tomorrow' attitude. Their culture is only used when they're trying to scold you for something, your bosses will blow up frequently.

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.
