Pros

You always knew what was coming everyday, so there were rarely any surprises. The work was pretty easy and non-challenging, and my manager was a pretty nice guy. It was never a problem to ask for time off. Benefits are also very good, with 3 weeks vacation and a great health/dental package paid for 75% of the way.

Cons

Higher levels of management look down on lower level workers, and the the company as a whole is very controlling of the people it employees, whether or not they notice it. Dress code and timeliness are more important than work quality, and they'll fire you with little to no notice if they feel you're under-performing or just not liking the company. On the flip side of things, giving notice of your departure terminates you immediately so there's no reason to even give a two weeks notice and as long as you don't make a huge scene when you quit they don't even really seem to care that you're leaving. Compensation is sub-par, and therefore dealing with all the negatives that come with a job at QAS aren't worth the time and energy required to give it a full effort everyday. The last con of this company is that the products are very inefficient and unreliable, and therefore the customer base is rarely happy.

Pros

Great combination of positive work environment and team camaraderie as well as a definitive focus on quality work. Responsibility and ownership are immediately imparted at entry level. Clear career paths.

Cons

Young executive staff and senior manage team – clearly shows in management style, decision making, and influence on company culture, with poor impact on each, mostly in the form of immaturity disguised in apparent competency.

Pros

Great benefits and time off/vacation time. Several of the people I work with are like family.

Cons

Very poor local and middle management for sure. People are promoted into supervisory positions that have no previous experience to management and are not trained or prepared for positions. The company says they have a 'Culture', but they don't follow it. Management seems inept and makes very poor decisions. I wonder how some of these people got the positions that they currently have as I know my children can outthink and outperform some of thise embecils that they call managers and directors. Management always sounds supportive and how much they want to improve things, but just lip service.
