Pros

Good internal training and employees are encouraged to further their education. Advancement opportunities do exist, and hr is very supportive.

Cons

Attendance policy is ridiculously strict - one of the worst I've come across. PTO is a little on the llight side. Employee population at each plant is small so while advancement opportunities exist, they are limited by the small number of employees and consequently small number of openings that come up. Communication is sometimes not the best between mid management and front line employees. Any strategy for mapping out your career has to be done by the employee - if you wait for management to help you chart a path you will flounder.

Pros

Decent pay for general labor. Good benefits with stock options. Most people are good to work alongside. Advancement possible within the workplace. Tuition reimbursement for those who wish to advance further at West.

Cons

The company wants perfect product and production rates, however much of the equipment provided cannot always perform the task and employees are often targeted to be the problem -not the dated equipment. They are slowly modernizing, but it needs to happen quicker.
