Pros

I truly enjoy the majority of the people I work with. In spite of the frustration people really care and take pride in their work.

Cons

Wage disparity is a very real thing here. The vast majority of senior and executive level leadership are all white males. I was given a significant pay increase and 'promotion' for what I thought was great performance, only to find out it was to be somewhat aligned with a new, white male employee that was brought on board with similar job duties. There are rumblings of ethically questionable behaviors surrounding products being re-labeled or having labels removed of the country of origin to up profits within the International business. Management is aware and proceeds with the practices claiming that everything has the same warranty. Management should know that these practices have nothing to do with warranty. I'm not sure if any of these issues have been brought to light with HR, but that department has its own issues. The department almost completely turned over within a 3 week time frame, the three that left were the ones doing most of the actual day to day work and were the most knowledgeable with what was going on.

Pros

Nothing is good with this company

Cons

This is the worst place you can work. If I were you, I would go elsewhere; the culture and management made this frustrating. Collaboration is null, and the environment between departments is always a blame game instead of solving problems. You are expected to take more responsibilities without pay increases. Career development also does not exist; you will not learn any minimal skills that can be used outside of the company. You will not grow professionally here, and on top of this, you will be breathing aluminum dust ALL DAY. The office looks trashy with black spots everywhere on the ventilation vents, not to mention they don't have a document to support the training, so everyone is doing their own thing inside a system that is not efficient. The CEO gets his mouth full saying we are making profits that are reaching records, with no pay increase.
