Pros

It was a great job. Talented people. Secure. Good pay and benefits. I had the ability there to contribute extensively in problem solving and improvements plant wide.

Cons

The con is we used to be Craftmaster Mfg. and we were purchased by Jeld-Wen. Jeld-Wen is home based in Klamath Falls Oregon. They terminated or drastically reduced the function and capacity of our engineering, HR, customer support and accounting departments. These functions were to be practiced at their corporate office. Jeld-Wen has many plants worldwide and all the plants are basically production and warehousing only. All admin and engineering functions are located in the corporate location.

Disgraceful, arrogant and not worth the time. And poor wages

Pros

None really. Overtime, but it's crammed down your throat and if you burn out, no advantages for the 60-70 hrs weeks you did put in.

Cons

Lots! Management has to be #1 issue. Prejudicial treatment for friends, family members and 1st shift. #1 comment from a manager- Not my problem, ask someone else. #2 is I don't know! Equipment never gets fixed, the "buck" is always passed, and the high turnover means you'll know more about your job in 6 months than the 22 yr old manager of 2 months. Also it REALLY pays to be male... No female floor managers. They do have some as leads, I think??
