Pros

- Smart people - Opportunities to move around and learn new skills - Work life balance (for the most part, depends on your manager)

Cons

- Once you're inside the organization they don't reward you will pay increases - Company is going through what seems to be continual layoffs - Very little growth for their brands - Leadership is pretty old school and it continues to be rewarded which drives company performance even more into the ground.

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

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