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.

Pros

Great team to work with. The empolyees make the enviorment worth dealing with. Alot of help and supporting people. Great availability allowing to float hours when needed

Cons

No direction for growth. They speak of promoting from within but always choses to outsource. Will have you stuck n one spot they feel your good at and not allow you to grow out of that.
