Pros

Health insurance 401k Dental insurance Cost of living raise

Cons

The plant in which I worked allowed managers and leaders to be disrespectful towards team members by letting them single individual flaws out, show favortism, and have other team members spy and snitch for them, and allow them to not provide the same opportunities to all of the team members under their leadership. It doesn't matter how hard or long you work there beacuse if one person doesn't like you or how you do things they will find a way to get rid of you. The HR office only takes care of things if you report them the same day it happens, and even then nothing comes out of it. If you get hurt on the job unless you break something you are at fault regardless of why or how it happened.

Pros

Great product, hours were good, and good culture overall. I worked there for well over 10 years and was very sad to leave.

Cons

The Birmingham branch went through several owners during my long tenure with the company. Each owner had its pros and cons. Eventually Birmingham was bought out by the corporate office. The company constantly changing owners gave alot of anxiety and employees were often left feeling a lack of stability. There is not alot of room for growth and the starting pay is not the best, unless you are in Trade sales.
