Pros

There is good pay and they provide some strong values but those are only applied prior to a "God Pigiot" visit. There are some really hard working shop floor employees.

Cons

Management is clueless about employee relations. They still utilize the "good ole boy" system when hiring management. Various HR violations go unreported if you are friends with certain HR professionals. WORK LIFE BALANCE is non existent.

Pros

Great Products, Good Benefits and Salary, Location

Cons

Management by fear. Demeaning treatment of employees Upper management gossips about each other, employees, and the Chairman; hires people like themselves - dull order takers. Women still do not have the same opportunities for advancement. Rigid dress codes. It's a professional environment and clothing should reflect that but there needs to be room for personal choices. The chairman's minions are dangerously dumb.

Pros

Decent benefits, good focus on training and personal growth. Reasonable work-life balance. Interesting products to work on.

Cons

Compensation is only 'okay', and low for the area. Vacation and sick leave are extremely minimal. Very conservative at a corporate level. Middle management will do anything to look good when 'the chairman' comes to visit. Recent verbal-only policy change required everyone to shave beards and goatees at the whim of 'corporate policy'. Software used by engineering and production is embarrassingly ancient and inefficient.
