Pros

There's a lot of mandatory overtime.

Cons

Man I really don't know where to start. Mandatory 9 hour days for more than half of the entire time I worked there (which was about 3 years). Management does not work with employees, there is a great deal of favoritism which is unfortunate but common in companies with such unqualified management. Their pay is less than average, their benefits are ok, unless there's a hurricane you will not get a bonus. And if there is a hurricane you will work 60 hours a week and probably Sunday. People in the office get to leave for lunch, but no one working in the factory can leave for lunch. Don't provide any food vendors.

Pros

No background checks. Good for people needing a job quickly.

Cons

Where to start? Poor leadership on all levels. A bunch of talk about quality and the customer but are happy pushing out inferior product and dealing with it later, but then blame all the workers (via no quarterly bonus due to impossible metrics they have little/ no control over) instead of correcting the workers responsible. They are SO CHEAP. Cheap in pay, cheap in providing what employees need in a timely manner or if ever, cheap in benefits, cheap all the way around. They want drones, not humans. Very high turnover rate. A lot of promises and little follow up. If you sign up for the annual company picnic and cant make it, they take money directly out of your check for each person signed up to go. Poor training. Reactive, not proactive.
