The majority of upper management was brought from within. These people managed plants from other states and did not have a handle on what sold in certain areas and could of cared less. They showed distain for the local employees.

Pros

They have hot coffee in there offices most of the time.

Cons

Old school management styles. Managers do not have skills to do there jobs so they look for some one to blame all the time. They love to micromanage. The managers gave an employee his 40th anaversary party. That afternoon they layed him off He was replaced with an engineer with 21/2 years experience. Is this a company that you want to work for?
