Pros

Very good production team. The hourly workers will support you as well as they possibly can if you are straight forward with them and try and make their jobs easier.

Cons

Engineering management team has fired three senior level engineers in the past seven months, lost two high potential younger engineers to other opportunities and lost one engineer to early retirement. The work environment for engineers is toxic, they expect long hours and poor working conditions. They provide no assistance in learning the systems and they will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat. It is the first time in a thirty year career I have ever been terminated, that coming off of a performance evaluation that said I was doing a great job.

Pros

work-life balance, the work out area is small but Ok, Charity work- but that is more on the Employees then the company

Cons

Review process is horrible, Managers are Rude Intrusive Unprofessional and play favorites they walk right by you and won't say hello and will do what it takes to alienate you if you don't follow their beliefs, you will be targeted and they will lie and overblow any issue to mark a review as negative. Human recourses will stand back and turn a blind eye to all this. The top six ( CEO on Down) are always creating new titles to announce themselves as promoted, The other Negative reviews I have read speak volumes about this Company they get you in the door with smiles and thoughts of a great long term future, then after 2-4 years they start to treat you badly knowing that more then likely you are not going to leave and start your career over. Company has many issues and sweep of current Management and leaders needs to happen! They push for a Premier Place to work but that will never happen with the leadership they have now!!! They send out (anonymous?) surveys asking for ratings on how good it is to work here, Employees are not going to be honest for fear of their job. Even though the walls are caving in around them Human Recourses can say well our survey shows we are doing a great job keeping employees happy.
