Pros

Best place to work in Dubuque, Iowa. Stable company built to last. Good jobs if not careers. Marketing done in house.

Cons

Workers treated like Mexican day workers. Complain and you're out the door. $900MM+ company run like Mom & Pop shop. Lots of cliques. Family owned and some of the family are true characters. They are proud of their tradition of being cheap. Upper management verbally abusive to Packer fans.

While this posting lists a date of 2011 I think it is actually over 7 years old. I’m glad to read that this person says we are the best place to work in the area and a stable company built to last. Yes, at one time this position reported to an executive that was not a Packer fan. Most people enjoyed the banter with this executive about football teams. Regardless, for a number of years now a different executive has been managing this area of the company. Employees that come to us from publicly traded competitors are thrilled with our family owned culture and things like direct access to our President, speed of decision making, lack of management layers, etc. I would put our executive team up against any in the industry. This is a well run company moving in the right direction.

Not super busy because they can’t keep customers.

This company is a joke, it’s like they’re trying to run it in the ground.
