Pros

Overall friendly atmosphere. There are some conflicts of course but much better than most larger companies. Company upper management does a pretty good job of communicating for a company of its size. Columbus is a small town with very friendly people. This may not be for some though. Good school system as well. Diverse work force. Hard workers can move up in the company because company encourages it.

Cons

Pay is average to below average depending on the job ... I left for a 30% pay increase for the same job and requiring fewer skills. Upper management does not promote stability due to constant hiring and cutting. Work / life balance can get out of control if you let it. Must not be afraid to push back to keep a reasonable balance. Benefits are ok but not as good as might be expected for a company of its size.

Pros

You get paid for doing OT on weekends at the plant I work at now If you are in a shift that has less staffing you might earn more money on weekends as you will not have anyone to rotate with or less people to rotate with I am happy to have a manager who understands I have a lot of work pressure

Cons

If you are in a shift that has less staffing you will have a lot of work to do. For me the con is lots of work pressure in the shift I work. I think I do the work of atleast 2 people and sometimes even more. First shift will have people to rotate on weekends. Unfortunately 2nd shift doesn't have people to rotate with. We end up working every weekend but have same number of vacation days. People in 2nd can get there vacation days used up before other shifts. But still I would say its a good company considering I work in a manufacturing facility.
