Liked working there.

Pros

I liked working there. The pay is fair and there is frequently overtime. Benefits good too. Until my last week everyone except two people were really nice. I was proud of what we were making.

Cons

There was a hostile coworker who I dealt with for many weeks before telling her off (no profanity, threats, yelling or name calling). She is generally disliked and a back biting, overeager, management suckup with limited experience. First Saturday without a supervisor or our lead there, she became a tyrant and it escalated from there. I had years of experience did good work, had perfect attendance and no other issues. Management took her side and after two meetings and several days passed I was issued a Final Warning with nothing previous. It meant that I could be fired immediately for anything on the spot and was also ineligible for raises or advancement for a year. It was overkill and unjust. So I resigned. They didn't even acknowledge my communications. They have had high turnover. Other than that it's a massive, non climate controlled and dirty heavy industrial work environment - which didn't bother me. The way my future with them ended will always bother me.

Pros

Great place to work, steady job with very little layoffs.

Cons

Advancement in the company is hard to come by due to the lack of overall growth.
