Pros

Job allows you to learn alot. Voice is definitely heard in terms of finding innovative solutions. You can strive for any job/position you want. People are great. Family atmosphere. Pay is very typical for being on the outskirts of Atlanta. There are bonuses depending on where you work. And there are free sports leagues, trainers, and a gym/weight room for all employees in the Carrollton area.

Cons

Like most big companies in Georgia, it's a good ole boy network and very top heavy with VPs. Advancement is a lot of who you know, rather than what you know. There are several bosses without degrees. There are huge disparities in pay. If you want a raise, you better ask for it. You may or may not get it.

Pros

Okay pay for the area.

Cons

Previous management made poor hiring decisions and micromanaged the facility. Morale lowered less got done, with horrible favoritism. Certain employees were allowed to work 12 hour days while others were told there was no overtime. Employees who should have been terminated for sexual harassment were promoted to supervisors. Supervisors dated employees they supervised and were kept around instead of fired when caught. Watched employees do less and less, management finally left and better management came in only for the facility to be shut down after being in the area for 50 years. No real reason given other than spreading our work to other facilities. I worked there for 15 years and watched the company go continuously downhill under previous management only for the manager to leave after wrecking the culture and the corporate to shut us down soon after.
