Pros

Progressive company that promotes employees from within. Highly technological company that promotes growth using technology and finding streamlined methods.

Cons

Pay seems a little low for the type of position and the responsibilities attached to the position. The tendency for unplanned overtime and on short notice makes it a somewhat challenging position with family responsibilties. Benefits are adequate and health insurance is reasonably priced.

It doesn't have to be like this

Pros

Firetrucks are awesome. Firefighters are great people. Most of the regular employees are a pleasure to work with.

Cons

Senior management is a joke. Lying and deceit are not only accepted, but encouraged. Toxic culture. Excessive overtime, especially during warmer weather. HR is understaffed. IT is understaffed. Quality is barely staffed at all. Manufacturing engineering is understaffed. Fabrication is understaffed. Assembly is understaffed. Paint is under staffed. Logistics is understaffed. Engineering is understaffed. Customer Service is understaffed. Marketing is understaffed. The sales side is understaffed. You get the picture? The only department that doesn't appear to be understaffed is finance. Excessive turnover at all levels. Manage by changing the seating chart. Preach about people first, and then treat employees like crap. We all know it is shareholders first. Short sighted. No long term vision. If there is a vision, it is not communicated. Talk incessantly about employee survey results, yet do nothing to address issues. Cult like obsession with industry trade shows. Oshkosh is part of the military industrial complex, if you are ok with that.
