Pros

Decent pay but not above national standards, decent benefits and insurance. Members of corporate office seem down to earth and realistic.

Cons

Plant managers are absolutely awful and do not care about the associates at all. They are great at putting on dog and pony shows for corporate but once they head back to Kenosha all hell breaks loose and it is a daily struggle to meet requirements. Expect to work 6-7 days a week so there is no work/life balance and do not expect graditude in return from managers, you are lucky to get a $25 gift card to Wal-Mart for your Christmas bonus. My particular plant managers manage from the security cameras so that they can relax in their office and not have to step on the plant floor and interact with the disgruntled employees and the real issues that are negatively impacting their day to day jobs.

Pros

Got to work with and sell the best tools money can buy. Dealing with professionals that love their craft and snap on.

Cons

My experience was really odd. At 1st during the interview the recruiter made it seem as if you can make all kinds of money when you hit your bonus. This was so far from the truth. The recruiter who is now promoted gave incorrect information and mislead that group of new hires. To top it off the management team was all talk no action. For example they said do something a certain way but they wouldn't do it themselves. Management in Southern California seems to have a culture of cover your own butt. If you want to make 50k and make zero bonus sign up for this job.
