Pros

The only pro is good friendly coworkers, management sucks. No vision or clear direction is given to the employees.

Cons

Management has no direction they change course every other day and do not communicate with employees. Turn over is extremely high. In 2014 the Arlington site had 30 employees quit. In 2015 in the first 2 months 4 people have quit. They are currently are on their 4th plant manager in 2.5 years.

Pros

The president/co-owner recently semi-retired to work on special projects. He tried to provide an improved work-life balance for people and was pretty caring. About a year ago he brought in several outside managers and several consultants to continue to make improvements and allow ownership to step back a bit and let people work. Ownership is having weekly meetings with all the plant mangers and below and really engaging the staff. I appreciate that he set the tone to be safe, take care of customers and speak our minds.

Cons

Pay is a little below average, but they have brought on new HR people that are working to address areas where they are not competitive. Sometimes slow to move, but they try to collaborate.

Pros

Set hours and good co-workers, appreciation dinner once a year, $100 cash bonus at the end of the year...

Cons

very low compenation, expects you to do the work of three people WAY below the average pay grade, management is manipulative and back stabbing, sales and customer service representatives will make promises someone else has to keep and throw you under the bus if it doesn't happen, skilled labor positions are described as "replacable or a dime a dozen", no respect for subordinates.
