Pros

company passes along profits via occasional bonuses to all employees; competitive salary; descent health insurance and 401k.

Cons

They operate under Kaizen theology (which sounds good but really is a joke). The hierarchy is communistically governed. I feel as if I work in Communist Russia of years ago. They really ruin good employees and retain toxic ones. It's quite inbred and they REALLY don't welcome independent thinkers. They hire 80% new grads (easier to indoctrinate) in all departments...and then they leave after 2 year commitment is up, which is why they're so under staffed. If you can tolerate all of this and fly under the radar, you'll be fine.

Leadership could be better. Communication with HR, management, etc is not good. The pay seems low, especially for how hard we work.
