Pros

If you value your workmanship and your family this company is not for you. This place is a true sweat shop and only care about how fast they can get their product out without thinking about the problems that arises. Managers are horrible and have no sense on how to manage their employees for a more efficient and happier work place. When something goes wrong they are so quick to save their own and will throw you under the bus without hesitation. Shady people tend to thrive among other shady people. Be aware.

Cons

Managers with no people skills. Sweat shop work environment and adittude. No understanding for one another. Revolving door work place, skilled workers do not last long here.

Pros

Made a lot of good friends there and I was able to push for additional responsibilities so I would have growth potential.

Cons

You are expected to do more than you can do in the hours of your day and the pay raises, bonuses, benefits, etc after 5 years were a joke. I was one of the more respected, knowledgeable people there and my raise was $0.17/hour for the year due to a "cap" among all employees.

Pros

If you have the ear off the right person, typical career growth can happen and compensation. They also have an education reimbursement program (paid after successful completion, not before).

Cons

At the facility I worked at (there are currently 9 sites globally), it was difficult to get respected by my department manager for my knowledge and capabilities, which seemed to come from feeling threatened by both (rather than delighted). My manager went so far as to take credit for my work and blame me for his mistakes. None of the men serving in the same capacity as I was experienced this behavior from management. This attitude trickled down to my peers , until I was treated poorly by all the men in my department. Previous department management was not like this in years prior, but it is this way now... The health insurance is not good coverage, dental and vision are decent, but it's very expensive to add family members to any of the available plans. Drinks and snacks are also expensive...
