Pros

everyday something new fast paced manufacturing of Custom air movement systems

Cons

Poor retention of employees - very little recognition - expects overtime almost daily in excess of a normal 8 hour day. Managers only stay for a few years. I stayed probably a few years to long and saw some odd decisions made.

Company that acquired Nortek (Melrose) did not value work life balance, but things smoothed out after acquisition. Not sure how it is now, I worked there 4 years ago.
