Pros

Good team of younger engineers.

Cons

Older guys in management are dinosaurs of industry and stuck in their ways. The most dangerous words 'its always been done this way' is rampant. All facilities are far below average, worn, and dirty. The company does not even use Outlook but rather Lotus Notes from the '80s. Need to use adobe to edit a PDF? Good luck as its the free version. Excel and word? Versions from over 10 years ago. Keep up with the times or get left behind. For being a proudly-female owned company, Andrea is clearly not in touch with what occurs in the plant. The turnover is atrocious for the office staff (managers and engineers alike) - No mentors, no leadership, no training, incredibly toxic environment.

Pros

Maintenance department is usually exempt from layoffs because there are always special projects to do.

Cons

When production is limited by supplier demand, you either have to take a day off for lack of work or cover it with your vacation or personal time. First shift is the golden shift as they get all of the overtime and rarely are laid off.
