Pros

Fellow employees are generally fun to be around and we work well with each other. Company picnics can be fun too.

Cons

Everyone is disposable. All about the numbers. HR changes constantly. Extreme micromanaging. Pretend to care about employees but constantly lie about what they are doing to make our jobs safer and easier. Also they pretend to listen to employee concerns only to go in one ear and out the other.

Pros

Some good people left from back when culture was family-oriented and hard work was rewarding.

Cons

Most veterans and those with talent have left the company, and the rest are seeking other opportunities. The attempts to change the culture over the past few years have resulted in epic failures. The company has changed the operations team with lack-luster, self-serving micro managers. So many dollars have been spent to improve productivity, only to have taken ten steps back, rather than forward. Employees are left questioning how products can even be profitable, with numbers being manipulated by leadership, in an effort to distort what's really happening - thus preventing the truth from being discovered by those at the very top. The arrogance that resides within this company is nauseating.
