Not worth it.

Pros

Employee benefits are actually pretty decent. Personal, vacation and sick days with reasonable insurance choices. If you keep your head down and your mouth shut, management won't pay enough attention to you to micromanage so you can get your work done without them micromanaging your every move.

Cons

Management has absolutely no respect for anyone, even other management. No respect for time, no respect for job responsibilities, no respect for other human beings. Corporate has a very "big brother" feel, everyone has been absolutely miserable since they took over. Anyone who doesn't have a "Manager" title next to their title is heinously underpaid. Many positions don't really have opportunities for growth.

Pros

Flexible work schedule, easy to trade shifts. Many opportunities to cross train and have a well rounded set of skills. Good growth opportunities. Supervisors are open to suggestions and have high standards.

Cons

Pay and raises are the equivalent of the fast food industry, but with much higher expectations and skillsets. Regardless of how many areas of production you know, your pay does not change. Other departments are also underpaid significantly. Supervisors are sympathetic and recognize employees are not paid appropriately.
