Pros

We could wear jeans on Friday (when royals played), donuts or bagels on Friday.

Cons

WOW! This section might be long. I'm unsure I can put into words the dislike I have for this company. It seemed like a legit company with all of the testing I had to do prior to accepting the job, but it was the worst decision I ever made. I worked in accounts payable. I simply know how the (so called) office area worked and nothing about the engineers. I will just start with my little things. The CFO is strange and will only talk to the supervisors. That wasn't a big deal to me because I've worked for attorneys and extremely important people, but I want to point that out because many cannot get along with him and quit quite fast. You're work area is disgusting. I understand it's connected to a shop, BUT when mouse feces and roaches invade your space, it begins to get questionable. They do not supply any utensils or plates/bowls for associates. The bathrooms rarely had toilet paper, soap, or paper towels. The office supplies ran out constantly, so some bought their own. I refused. I was honestly surprised, they supplied coffee for employees, but I believe it was only because customers. They had no IT dept. which I personally think is essential in a thriving company. There were only 2 people in HR and they didn't even know what was going on. I'm a person to follow guidelines and procedures, but anytime I'd ask, there wasn't an answer. I can only speak for accounts payable, but it's the easiest job I've ever obtained in my career. They have no clue how to actually operate, accounting wise. Turnover is outrageous! I've never seen a company this size, have so many employees just walk out. They think all the turnover is because the job is hard. Not at all. I personally, have excellent work ethic and work extremely hard at my job, but I tried to ask for something more and I received FILING. They code most everything to one account, 24500. Easy peasy. And, if you can match a check to a statement then you'll be golden. The CFO bragged to me in my interview about how smart he was and I definitely did not experience any of that. He wanted to take away printers because the ink was running out and costing money. I have to be challenged at work and I believe my daughter could do this job. They have zero appreciation for their employees and I mean ZERO. No raise, no bonus, no reviews, nothing. It was a complete waste of my time. I was miserable and extremely bored on a daily basis. If, you're considering an office option here, ask how turnover is, to see your work area, etc. They did lie to me, but just felt like I needed to warn all college educated people about this company.

Pros

Lots of growth within the business. Friendly coworkers. Active CEO in the operations. Small company feel.

Cons

Somehow others view befriending leadership as a negative... everyone who works here is very friendly though, including them. I enjoy getting to know the people who run the show. There are learning curves happening in the growth.

Pros

Good people for the most part

Cons

Terrible Management, Micro Managing every step you take. To many chiefs for one department. A lot of the higher ups are actual friends of the owner, no qualified to be in their positions. Nobody knows what’s going on. Could care less about service for customers. Only care about their platte facility or big account customers. Lost the feeling of a Midwest family owned company. Super corporate with a bunch of unnecessary rules and regulations. If you know someone higher up within the company and make a huge mistake or wreck a truck or act like a fool at a party event nothing happens. But if your not in one of there clicks you can close a door wrong and they’ll find a reason to get rid of you.
