Pros

Some really good, unused talent out on the floor. People that truly care about the company and the product.

Cons

No one listens to the people actually doing the work. Management is a joke. They continually put one shift against another. There is no team. There is no "standard work" because each shift is run differently. Workers are often mistreated and ignored. Injuries are high due to "trimming the fat". Production is more important than human life. Human Resources are not available to the off shifts and are often not even on campus for days at a time.

Pros

Great Products with long service history, known around the world

Cons

The amount of profanity and sexually explicit language tolerated by management made the work environment very uncomfortable. Very disappointing, only at this location and not experienced at other divisions. This environment may make keeping good people difficult.
