Pros

The pay was great and most of the people were nice

Cons

Management was not willing to discipline certain workers who have had major problems with most employees. The reason being is that these workers had too much experience and basically were doing the managers job. Many workers left the Material Handling department due to one older employee.

Pros

I really can't think of any.

Cons

I was told that the company could not afford to give more than a 25 cent raise, only to find a day later that a woman who was known to complain often and loudly was given a dollar. Also, besides having managers lie to your face, there are too many politics. My company was bought by Magnetek. It was the worst thing to happen to what had been a great place to work. Before the buyout I was literally weeks from earning an extra week of vacation, but since Magnetek did not follow the same vacation schedule I was not given the additional week. Magnetek is a vampire that sucks the life out of small companies by buying them up and bleeding them dry.
