Pros

The company was great. Long hiring process. You're surrounded by good local people. Production managers in corporate Kentucky and Dallas That You Don't See everyday, push numbers and production that are unfair and set you up for failure so that they can get their bonus money on record years

Cons

Production managers in Kentucky and mid region. All they do is crunch numbers. Even though you have a record year with record profit, and you close $20 million dollars worth of product, they say that's not good enough because they are not local. They are squeezing blood from turnips, and need to be replaced
