Pros

Some of the people are great and I was able to make long-term friendships.

Cons

HR isn't wanted or needed. If you decide to send an inappropriate picture of your anatomy to your supervisor, that's okay, you'll just be transferred to another plant. Want to steal from the vending machines? That's okay too, just make sure your Dad is "tight" with leadership. After you get caught stealing, you will be promoted! Want to use racial slurs? No problem, as long as you don't mind a longer commute to the Walker plant instead of the Holland plant.

Pros

A place for new technicians to learn and gain great experience to use to further their careers.

Cons

Very disjointed company. Upper management offers little to no guidance and only expects results without investment.
