Pros

-Good benefits but no short term disability policy -Design work (when allowed to) is challenging and enjoyable (seriously unable to think of any other "pros")

Cons

-High senior and middle management turnover, each group has made major goal changes causing confusion and conflicts -Extremely low employee moral, four layoffs within past few years and starting this week hours have been cut for hourly employees and 10% pay cut for salary employees even though three new business development employees with 6 digit salaries have been hired since the last layoff -Quality is sacrificed to meet schedule and generate revenue -Current management focus is to give design development and control to outside sources rather than utilize years of experience in house -ZERO training is approved for essential duties, only federally mandated and new ERP software training is given -Alabama location is BAD, in the middle of nowhere and closest town (Montgomery) is dangerous -Those that do majority of the work are bypassed for promotions/raises whereas those that are proven to slack off get them due to kissing up -Information is regarded as power therefore hoarded by management, what information is shared has been filtered or altered -Bad decisions made by management result in issues that are blamed on innocent employees so they can be used as scapegoats -New CEO has ZERO manufacturing experience (so many more but you get the point)

Pros

You have to wear a lot of hats but it's really good experience and you have a lot of decision making autonomy.

Cons

Senior leadership sometimes lacks strategic vision.

Pros

An interim CEO named in January 2026 is bringing new ideas, but the culture is toxic.

Cons

There are no new products in the pipeline that are designed by the company. Products being produced now are end of life. Revenue is down. The leadership needs to be replaced, they lack accountability for any of their actions.
