Pros

Salary very competitive. New Facility, Co-workers are good hard working people. Nice cafeteria

Cons

Managers cannot communicate. They seem totally out of control and just reacting to whatever the daily problems are and there are many, many daily problems. People left due to management ineptness. I stepped up because I wanted to see the company succeed but I was very naive. Covered their job responsibilities and at one point I was covering 4 separate job positions including 3 managers of which I was not a manager. I did this for more than a year and for my efforts I was told on the day of my review my rating was below average. I had no previous discussion with my inept manager even giving me a clue that this was a problem. I knew they had to had a certain percentage of people to rated in different classifications so raise pool could be distributed accordingly. Was not concerned about salary but more about whether I was doing a good/adequate job and I was told yes except for one issue I was never made aware of. So instead my manager out right lied to me. In the last 9 months I was there I went through 114 manufacturing scenario changes for the same product because they sold the client a complete lie and didn't know how make the product hence the 3 changes per week. They lied to the customer and now have lost the MAJOR client.

Pros

Very supportive team and management to work with from the beginning. Many training classes need to be taken in moving forward to align with the company policies and technical procedures. Good benefits and competitive salary. Have a very positive plan for long term career and educational support tuition. The interview and hiring process are long but informative and responded promptly.

Cons

There are many training classes to take so it may put more stress on a new hire if you do not have a good plan.

Pros

Everyone is willing to help and the training is actually good training

Cons

If I didn’t know someone that worked since I was going to overnights I didn’t really meet anyone on my team except my manager once. Also I wouldn’t know who to reach out like manger wise if I didn’t know someone who already worked here
