Pros

Hours are flexible. Updated CAD and business management in the past 5 years to stay with the times. The company is growing, but who knows when the rest of the economy takes off. The campus is beautiful. The love my fellow engineers, manufacturing, and toolroom workers. They are great people next to and learn from. I can't say that for 90% of management.

Cons

If your in the Good Ole Boy Club, you have a shot at getting promoted. Upper management is spending money to take the company in directions I do not like. They just became a Smokeless campus and were told that it help cut our health insurance costs. I do not smoke and my rates for health care doubled because they said the current cost were not sustainable. Then they give out extra money per share for yearly dividends, which cost more then what they saved on hiking the cost of health care up on the employee's. I constantly feel that I am untrained for my job, because there are band-aids on the redundant management websites and things change, but we are made aware of it. The company has become management top heavy.

Treated as a Professional

Pros

From the corporate team in PA, to the newest Assembly temp, I am working with the best mix of people I have every worked with. I enjoy being treated as a professional. I am given tasks by my manager and he doesn't micromanage me or my day. It's nice being a Process Owner and having the respect from him to accomplish tasks how I see fit.

Cons

I haven't encountered any at this point. It is nice being part of a team.
