Pros

None. This was by far the worst job that I have ever held

Cons

the 2 1/2 years I spent at Summit were pure hell. The productions expectations are ridiculous when you factor in the poor performance and maintance of the equiment and machines, the part standards that seem to change on an hourly basis and the line of communications between the upper management and the floor. You are expected to be available to work overtime on as little as 10mins notice, and hevan forbid if you have small children and are unable to aquire a back up sitter to work that overtime that you were given 10mins notice for. The chain of command is a joke and female employess who work on the factory floor are subject to constant harassment by not only their peers on the floor, but the upper level management. You cannot file a proper complaint without going through the management, even if they're the ones you have a complaint with. The attendance expectations, while not obscenely insane, leave little room for exceptions. One former coworker had a seizure on the floor and was taken out of the plant by ambulance.....and had a mark on her attendence record for "Leaving work early" that night!

Pros

If you are of the male gender, your opportunities for job advancement and compensation are actually quite good and you can expect much in the way of training.

Cons

Harassment and far lower wages for women in this workplace are not uncommon. If you place a complaint then expect retaliation from those higher up. They also expect you to do your own reviews of your job performance with instructions that you should not rate yourself highly as it will show no room for improvement and will reflect on you poorly. They will then take those ratings later on to use against you stating that you agreed that you were a poor employee. My time at Summit was the lowest depths of hell. By going through the channels of complaint directed by the company it put me in a position where the people involved in the issue were informed and were able to not only retaliate but were open to building a case against me that improperly showed me as being a poor employee.
