      Pros

      Great community service activities, "at work" benefits, and advancement opportunity. Friendly and approachable senior management. Emphasize training programs and on-job training.

      Cons

      Archaic vacation policy, had 3 weeks in addition to holidays at my old job, had to move to 2 when transfering to West. In negotiating 3 weeks, they didn't seem to want to budge at all, which was somewhat disuading.

      Benefits under high pressure to perform

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Stock purchase plan, 401k with employer matching investment, air conditioned workspace, 80% dental, security cameras and entry points, bonuses based on team production levels. Uniforms provided for hourly workers.

      Cons

      Management is two-faced, (smiling while not caring about hourly employees), and prefer to remote manage and pass the buck on problems that arise. Point system keeps check on hourly employees and used as a firing tool. Points given for being 1 minute late, not calling off properly, leaving early, and missing clock-in among others. Improperly trained hourly workers due to management imposed deadlines resulting in costly time and equipment repairs. Payscale for skilled workers falls in the mid-range of same type work in surrounding industry.

      Pros

      People here are friendly. Flexible about doctor/dental appointments that kind of thing.

      Cons

      1. the management doesn't trust people about time management. 2. the expectation is unrealistic most of the time. 3. management expects people to work overtime in order to get things done, with aggressive deadline.
