      Pros

      the pay is good, and most of the rank and file employees are fun to work with. pretty good benefits

      Cons

      morale is terrible. everyone in management is out for themselves alone. there is no integrity in what they say and what they do. they follow rules to the letter, and ignore the intent. .

      It's a living.

      Pros

      Ample days off for technicians, decent benefits and environment. Very transparent in regards to changes that occur and what is happening in the company. Management treats the technicians decently. Low stress and I always know what time I am going home.

      Cons

      Low starting pay with a rigid advancement process that causes the best people to leave because they can't live on the wages while waiting to advance. I would not move into any role other than a technician because you are basically a slave to the plant. I see those in support roles coming in on weekends and constantly staying late, plus they are on call 24/7! This company tells new hires they emphasize a work-life balance but it seems it's only for those of us who are on the floor making product.
