      Pros

      Good work life balance, summer hours, they are trying to incorporate a younger generation of employees to improve the culture.

      Cons

      Not a warm friendly environment, a bit stuffy. If you want to move up, you have to find a new city/plant to do it in. Everyone just keeps their heads down and does their work.

      Pros

      They offer a "university" to try and teach you about the products. They seem to care a lot about the students throught out the training

      Cons

      Once your graduate you're in for something completely different than expected. The industry as a whole has such and old world mentality when it comes employees

      Pros

      8-5 desk job with weekends off. Great place to work if you don't want to challenge the status quo.

      Cons

      Upper management will do anything to make you think the same as them. They don't encourage creativity no matter how much they tell you they do. They have their favorites and if you're not one of them it doesn't matter what happens you'll be the one getting into trouble. They also work in a negative reinforcement culture so if you don't mind being told what you're doing wrong all the time this is a great place to work. And the pay is extremely enticing but the insurance rates and other withholding are huge so you won't see most of your money.
