Pros

The cafeteria was nice to eat at

Cons

Upper management created an unstable working condition. High turn over rates. Everyone was your friend until it came to money, then it was every man for them selves. There is a toxic culture there of upper management lying to keep the workers content, no follow through on promises. You are a number. Management protected their own even with abuse of power. Production coverups and lying to customers was prevalent. Layoffs and mandatory over time wrecked people's work life balance. Place should unionize but upper management has a playbook to keep that from happening.
