Pros

- Many Company sponsored events/Team buildings - Very cool and innovative products - Very low healthcare costs to employee - Management encourages open dialogue with them and are very willing to help

Cons

- Company has been habitually understaffed (from high growth over past 10+ years) which has lead to many overworked employees - Many projects heavily involved with Chinese manufacturers, so weekly or biweekly calls at night or early in the morning - Aggressive schedules can lead to long hours - Work-Life balance is difficult - 4% 401K match (below average) - No Paternity Leave - Only 6 Weeks Maternity leave

Pros

Room to learn new things, challenging role.

Cons

Medical situations are completely overlooked. Even with proper documentation, they refuse to work with the situation and would rather terminate employment, than make adjustments. Favoritism is rampant and HR needs a complete overhaul. Overworked and under-appreciated most of the time.

Pros

Great pay and great benefits. On-site free clinic.

Cons

Mandatory overtime. The plant never meets the expectations whoever has set. Supervisors who have a terrible attitude, non qualified, always pushing people harder and harder to make sure their butts are covered from corporate, can’t spell, can’t type, willfully ignorant to the well being of the employees who actually do the job. Management does not care about you, until you mess up. You will never make enough parts, or seal any packaging, or finish the parts. You will spend 7 days a week in the plant and be so tired when you leave that all you can do is sleep and get right back to work. Profits and numbers will always be more important than your health, mentally or physically, so be prepared to not live up to what they want, getting evaluated, then telling you your not doing enough, and leave work and do it all again the next day. You have to know somebody to move up or be a female with a male manager.
