Well known company,with several different skilled trades. Reasonalble compensation for work performed. Awesome product line. Long lasting products for everyones needs.

Cons

It takes 5+ or more years to make it full time.(Core) Which then you will have benifits. To many supplimental employees, and having them come in and out every 170 days, results in poor qualtiy and pride for the company.
