      Pros

      Good pay, great work life balance.

      Cons

      No support from anyone. Middle management is terrible, you need a thick skin to deal with blame culture and discrimination. Not recommending..

      Cons

      Incompetent management! current leader MICRO-MANAGES! Numbers(production output) mean everything to them! Management treats production people with very little respect! No team work exists! They get nervous during audits and when employees threaten to use legal resources to be treated fairly and within the law!
