Pros

This is a very strong company with great products and co-workers. The company has treated me very well. After I had worked here for 6 months they asked me where I wanted to go in my career and then helped me achieve my goals as quickly as possible. They reward hard work and loyalty. They continue to invest in their products and employees. They have a good mix of long term, mid term and short term workers

Cons

Older facilities but they continue to upgrade and improve them.

Pros

Great product niche, long history in the marketplace. A lot of really good people trying to help. Some good product designs.

Cons

The family leadership is dis functional to an extreme. Instead of embracing contemporary manufacturing systems they manage by screaming and yelling a lot. The company was built on a reputation of quality, allowing high margins. They now focus on low cost by cheapening the products while trying to maintain margins of high quality. They are consistently late, relying on old relationships that are failing.

Pros

Decent pay for work required.

Cons

Chaotic management. They are cutting too many corners. The quality of their product is way less than it could be. Everything is rushed through because its late.
