Pros

If you like to be lied to from manager directly to face. This job is for you.

Cons

Instead of hiring within for management, they hire somebody off the street with a degree, and tell you how to do your job, when they have know idea on how to perform the job themselves. Over the years they keep on taking anything good for the employees away. I have had one .70 raise in the last 10 years. They don't replace any equipment so you can perform a job in a timely matter. Mandatory overtime every night, most Saturdays, and some Sundays. Last winter a couple guys tried to call in sick, they were threatened with getting written up so they came to work and everyone else got sick.

The people for the most part are enjoyable to work with.

Can be overtime heavy in many areas. Management is lackluster. Nobody is held accountable for anything they do on the products.
