Pros

The benefits provided by this company are excellent. The pay is competitive and there is usually an annual bonus for employees at all levels of the organization.

Cons

Manufacturing employees from management all the way out to hourly production floor workers are run into the ground. Production sites are not adequately staffed to allow for vacation coverage and call-outs. 60-70 hour work weeks become the norm at all levels.

Pros

Lots of low hanging fruit if you are willing to see things through and challenge the system. If your goal is to make a difference, you definitely can, you just have to be patient.

Cons

Typical frustration with bureaucratic norms and practices. Things take two, three or four times longer than they should.
