Pros

Very good company to work as far as putting family first. Very understanding when they're family issues that you need to take care of.

Cons

Can't trust them. They will lay you off no matter how loyal you are or how long you have been employed. I've seen many a layoff over the years that I worked there. Never mattered on how many years of service or how good of a worker they are. They can very easily dismiss you. I was employed with them for 18 years. Called me one day and said today is your last day. Job was outsourced to India and they would like for me to stay until the transition is complete. No thank you.!
