      Not the company it once was.

      Pros

      Competitive salary, pleasant working surroundings, good 401K and benefits

      Cons

      micro-management, lots of 'reductions in force' (management doesn't want to call them layoffs). What was once a great company to work for, even 3 years ago, has become just a part of a large corporate machine with no heart or soul. Loyalty to the company and years of experience is no longer considered valuable under the new ownership.

      Pros

      Benefits are great. That's it

      Cons

      Constantly work mandatory overtime. No home life. Way too much favoritism in my department. If you make a suggestion for improvement you never hear anything about it. Lead controls supervisor. Can do no wrong. Employees can do nothing right unless you are in the click. Tired of being treated like a child and abused, while the favorites can do anything they want. Don't ever make a mistake. You get a report card at the end of the month with your mistakes

      Company with NO heart!

      Pros

      Other than steady work- I can't think of any. This company is out for profit only and they do not care about employees AT ALL! They use people and when they are done with you they are done. As a temp- they will keep you 18 months and then you are out!

      Cons

      They use terror tactics with their employees. Everyone lives in constant fear of losing their job. If you are 1 minute late- no matter the circumstance- you are fired and walked off the premises. If you have an opinion or suggestion- you better keep it to yourself because you will be written up and soon after fired.
