Pros

They let you learn cnc. I was able to do multiple projects.

Cons

They make you run 2 to 3 machines at once. They find ways not to give you a raise. Raises are very very small. They want mass amounts of overtime. They like to lay off all the time. I was a full time employee. They laud me off and wanted me to be a temp. I turned them down and went to engineering school instead. I now over doubled my pay as entry level. $60k stearate clear from this place if you work in production.

Pros

Paychecks come on time, they have a decent rep in the ceramic packaging world. I worked with some wonderful people.

Cons

This is not a sales job, your are managing accounts with no incentive. QA issues non stop, legal issues, payment, anything and everything comes back on "sales". Every day was a new fire that always felt like preparing for a deposition where each employee starts pointing fingers at one another. Horrible moral. Depends heavily on your direct management. I'll just say that I had emailed some of the issues i was having to my manager (something I've never had to do my entire career) and nothing changed, except that they had logged into my email and deleted it so there was no record. It was not a good situation.
