Unprofessional in every aspect

Pros

pay and benefits, some co-workers are great

Cons

No life outside of work. Too much overtime and it's mandatory. Management is absolutely disgusting. Whole upper management is disorganized and not professional. This plant is all based on who you know and or who you are sleeping with. Plenty of qualified and dedicated people passed over for jobs so upper management has their buddies. There favorite saying here is corporate does not care about them so they can do what they want. Glad I retired and left. Everything went downhill after.

Great Pay. Lousy Company.

Business Outlook

Pros

They pay very well, especially for their manufacturing positions. They have great benefits. I really like how their vacation and sick time are separated. They seem to care about safety more than other companies.

Cons

I really don't understand how this company is able to stay running with the way management is being ran. They have no concept of LEAN or 5S. To be promoted, they don't really care about how qualified you are for the position. You have to either be male, related to someone, or having "relations" with someone in management to be get anywhere in the company. Their quality is also laughable. I have seen their quality technicians fudge data. Even the quality dept supervisor doesn't understand international regulations for quality. As for life/work balance: there is none. Don't expect to have a life at this company.

Great Pay, Benefits, Needs Better Management Within

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are great, Pay is great, chance to advance, move from job to job within the building.

Cons

Management lets the bullies run each department. There is no dicipline. No fairness. Hours can be all over the place, overtime can be forced depending on the area. Sometimes had to make plans.
