Pros

Interesting product line and some pride in believing the products help families during tough times.

Cons

Hard to quantify overall but without a doubt, the biggest con about this company is just how lost the current leadership is. As hard as it is to look past the daily/weekly frustrations that derive from their continued failed decisions (or lack of making a decision), it's more important to note how drastically they contradict all of the company/leadership principles that they demand employees to conform to. The leadership chain is flooded with "yes men" that seemingly refuse to stand up for their plants, departments, etc. when leadership pushes a poor decision or demand functions "make it happen" regardless of the feasibility or whether it's the right thing to do or not. Unfortunately this chokes out the good people that actually want to make a difference and move this company where it needs to go.

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.
