Pros

Large corporation with strong holding in the U.S. foundry market. If you are willing to move there are opportunities at other plants. Getting needed time off has never been a problem.

Cons

Differnt managers have differnt expectactions for their employees. I recently changed managers and the new manager is much less flexible about start and leave times than previous mangers have been. Differnt departments have differnt rules, which could have the appearnce of favoritism (even though I don't think there is favoritism)

Pros

It used to be a fair employer its a job tell you find a beter one and they are always looking for hard workers

Cons

I have a felling that they are trying to keep a younger work force and have stream lined to the point of safty this foundry does not even have first responders on sight for safty and have a zero tollarence for accedents so employed workers dont report for fear of loosing there job. they also turn a blind to employed worker input there is a lot of say one thing and do another going on there
