Pros

Its a job with benefits for short term until McDonalds calls.... Some of the people have a vast knowledge of the industry and are hard workers. Leaving that place!

Cons

Everything is always rushed without planning, Way too many meetings that accomplish absolutely nothing except wasting time. management expects miracles to happen without much guidence. No room for advancement unless you're in a relationship with someone in management. In my time of 9 years I saw at least 5 GM's and when they failed they were moved to a newly created position to justify their salary. I personally had 2 managers to report to that had no clue what I was talking about most of the time. Way too many chiefs and not enough indians. Had several employees with positions that were sensless and didnt have a point except to secure that person a job and waste space. Always iffy on the yearly bonus. Quality expected to be at a high level but bought products from intercompany facilities from Mexico and China that did not have to meet expectations and were passed off for being made in the US to deceive the customer. Monthly negative department status reports were falsely changed by management to hide their incompetancy. Yearly pay increases were never enough to cover the yearly insurance increases so every year I made less and less money than when I started there 9 years prior.

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.
