Pros

True has plenty of opportunities for people that are willing to work hard and put in a good day's work. This is not the place to work if you want to Twitter and browse your Facebook account all day. True is the leading commercial refrigeration manufacturer in the world and we did not get where we are by playing around all day. We have issues just like any other company, but we recognize those shortcomings and are slowly migrating to be a more open and progressive company while balancing our history and core principles at the same time.

Cons

True does not have a flexible work environment at all. True is very stringent on attendance and does a poor job of letting employees balance their work and private schedules. Which is unfortunate when the owners make millions of dollars on the backs of the employees and have all of the flexibility and vacation time they want. This sets a bad example from top down.
