Pros

- Family company feel - Good pay - A lot of autonomy in your role (at least it the office) - Stays busy This is a great place to work. If you're willing to work hard and learn, you can easily succeed here. This isn't some J.O.B where you put in your hours and then leave work at the door. This is (for me at least) a career and it's expected that you treat it like one. With that being said, if you're willing to put the time and effort in, the rewards are definitely there and the culture is a great one to be a part of. Management does not micromanage, and it feels much more like a team effort as opposed to a boss shouting orders out to you.

Cons

- Some plants are very remote if you need to travel - Workload can come in big waves Workload can vary depending on what exactly the company is going through. This drives your workload to come in "waves". Some months I have a pretty consistent schedule of what I need to do and other months it seems like plate is always full and I have a hard time getting anything done. But this is to be expected with a business that operates on consumer demand. Need to be able to multitask and stay organized.
