Great Place to Grow

Pros

Worked here for 12 years. Started in the lab as an analytical chemist and moved up to supervision for the last 5 years. Opportunity for growth is there if you are willing to work for it.

Cons

Lots of responsibilities to be had in this company. Be careful to not spread yourself too thin taking on what all they are willing to give you or you can set yourself up for failure.

Pros

ONE-continued employment at a recession -proof job(notice i didn't use the term CAREER)

Cons

SAFETY-there not only is a blatent disregard for safety at the plant level, there is a TOTAL disregard for even the most minor of suggestions to improve.....we call it "barely legal" around here, if they can get away with shoing an auditor the bare minimum for compliance they will do JUST THAT and NOTHING else

Pros

Small company so you get to know all the people who work there If your idea of excelling is brown-nosing then this is the place for you. The "yes man" is highly admired by management...even when they know they are not qualified. Get benefits

Cons

Management: Never have an idea that did not come from your manager, because that will be looked on as a threat (at that point, don't even entertain the thought of having a future there! because you won't). This is not the place for hard workers who value themselves...there's no room for you to grow professionally. The people who work the hardest are they ones that get fired first. If you don't tolerate nonsense, you will be labeled combative and counter-productive. Safety: For the type of manufacturing company it is, having a safe work enviornment is not at the top of the must-have list...actually is doesn't make the list. And it should! Leadership in general: The President's only motivation is "as long as it makes me money". Change: Due to the lack of promoting qualified candidates to leadership positions, the only changes made are to "delegate" to knowlegeable candidates the tasks the leader cannot coomplete and take away the necessary skill sets you need to learn as a degreed individual: troubleshooting. Integrity: And that is why morale sucks in every department.
