Pros

New facility, decent management, busy work.

Cons

Horrible pay. I made about 5-10$ under the industry average for my position. Hours are long, 10-12 hour days, and during busy season you will easily be working 50+ hours for several weeks at a time.

Company going through too many transitions

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great coworkers and everyone works hard. Laid back.

Cons

There's so much turnover. Always checking my inbox for a goodbye email, or a restructuring one. The whole company went from public to private, so there's no real clue as to where the company is going. The CEO position changed 4 times just in the last 4 years. Also, when hired, it seemed like there would be opportunities to transition from one team to another, but that wasn't true.
