Pros

If you're a follower......this is a great place to work. Friendly culture that does encourage community involvement. Great benefits for full time employees.

Cons

Cliques abound, and the company culture pits plants against one another which creates an incestuous blend of uneducated, yet blindly dedicated worker bees. You must emerge yourself in the culture of the location or you will drastically stand out. Adoption of out dated ideas and practices is mandatory. Do not buck the set pecking order, no matter how correct you are.

Pros

Great people, okay schedule, some perks and benefits were okay.

Cons

Manufacturing, so always wanting more with less. Hard to please as they are constantly changing everything.
