Pros

Great pay, but that was due to the fact that it was a union shop before GE bought the company.

Cons

They acquired the company and implemented a lot of changes that affected quality control and delivery times. Then they built a multi-million dollar facility in Jacksonville Florida. They also bought out the majority of our competition. They began shuttering all of the plants that they bought out and consolidated them in Florida. They now have a non union shop and subcontractors make the products which they assembly in Jacksonville.
