Pros

Commitment to personal development and opportunities for advancement. There is a lot of focus on teams. People generally work well together and there is a lot of support across job functions. The attitude is do whatever it takes to get the job done. There is a great philosophy of accountability and continuous improvement.

Cons

There are a lot of long hours because the company runs lean and this can make it difficult to find a good work/life balance. Oftentimes politics get in the way of getting the job done in the best manner. With the struggling economy and suffering housing industry the company has been in a cycle of layoffs and plant closures which contributes to a lack of job security.

Pros

Compensation is great People are awesome Lots of perks like educational reimbursement and volunteer work Lots of focus on safety, very few incidents HSA and company match benefits Upper management is wonderful and engaging

Cons

Work/Life Balance gets a one star rating Vehemently against remote and hybrid work. Says that working in the office is vital to creating relationships even though we all stay in our cubicles and all of the meetings are on Teams Middle management seems checked out Lots of peer pressure to work in office even when sick. Nobody is asked to go home if they come in hacking up a lung. Very few feel like they have the freedom and ability to take advantage of their vacation time. Over working yourself is seen as a value here, but isn't recognized as going above and beyond. It's an expectation. Seasonal whiplash - mandatory OT in the summer months, followed by hours possibly getting cut back in the winter months
