Pros

The paycheck is exccessively high for what the work is...

Cons

Management only manages keeping their friends in high places. Management does not support employees, favoritism and inflated egos run rampant, many good people throughout the plants - but HQ has become a very difficult place to be where there is no trust, and even HR is not watching our best interest.

Pros

Friendly people, well compensated. Great office in Atlanta, lots of growth opportunities for the company with exciting projects. Great place to start your career as a stepping stone to a better company.

Cons

It used to be a great company where management supported and nurtured their employees. But since about 2 years ago, with new management in place, they hired people who don't understand the business and only put their buddies into senior positions. So if you are not buddy buddy with senior mgmt, you will get no where. They promise a lot but deliver very little. The HR basically controls the careers and wages. Nothing gets approved without going through HR.
