Pros

Pay and compensation was OK.

Cons

Brutal working conditions. No air conditioning in the warehouse because "those guys don't matter". Constantly threatened to be fired and then finally got laid off, rehired and laid off again. This company didn't personify the "we are all family" environment that Timken said it valued.
