Pros

I cannot think of any.

Cons

Contact recruiters that work in the area. This company has a terrible reputation, and many corporate recruiters are no longer willing to place candidates here as a result. -3 rounds of layoffs in the year that I was there. -Total lack of leadership, vision, or direction from senior management. -Parent company Dover is too involved in a business and industry they do not understand. -Goals are set based on what will look good on a financial statement, not what is realistic or achievable in the marketplace or in the current business environment. -Projects are regularly started as high priority, then abandoned 3-6 months later. -No long term business plan or vision. Financial reporting and forecasting are done on a monthly basis, and no one is looking past next quarter's financial statement. Projects are deemed unimportant if they can't show a top line impact in 3 months. This means long term improvements are never made, and the same root level problems will continue to reoccur on a regular basis. -Company does not understand its own product, or what variables drive customer choice in the marketplace. -Job description changed multiple times in one year. -Manager changed 6 months after recruitment. -Extremely high employee turn over rate, like I have never seen anywhere else.

Pros

Some of the staff were friendly

Cons

Fast paced and so fast that they don’t care about staff. Turnover on the floor is very high but in the office, people are just unhappy. Meeting after meeting after meeting to the point that it cuts into being productive. Clear politics at play and old school mentality of operating
