Pros

NONE. Sadly, everything that was good and promoted happy and productive employees has disappeared within the last 20 years. The ESOP has been eliminated and there will be more. It's all about upper management, Their bonuses, Keeping the investors happy and "How can we reduce the workforce this week"

Cons

The work force in the Northeast facility has been reduced by half or more. Employees are being treated unfairly. Many have been laid off regardless of how many years they have been there. The point system is used to monitor employees like hawks and terminate them. This company has gone from being family oriented to how high can we get our stock at any cost. The CEO doesn't even care. It's a disgrace.

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent coworkers and management. You're not micromanaged and are treated like an adult. I would recommend working for them to others. The training was well done and managed as well.

Cons

Pay could be a little better but still above industry standard. Sometimes not enough direction but nothing major. There can be massive travel involved with certain positions.
