Pros

Compensation, Annual Bonus Plan, Benefits, PTO,

Cons

HR Leadership weakened over last few years. Moral of teammates downgraded significantly with these changes. High attrition starting in 2016 with several people who had less than 1 year leaving (even after relocating). Work life Balance was difficult to manage as rather than prioritizing initiatives that tie to company goals, the functions would try to look like work was getting done. Early Talent Program brought in overpaid interns/entry level whose salaries were higher than people who had been there for years.

Pros

the salary and bonus structure were very generous for employees- they have changed this, although probably still the best bonus structure around

Cons

very poorly managed, top down focused, "insider" environment. if you don't have a supporter in your management team (very high up) you won't make it.

Pros

Average salary for the area (Wilson, NC)

Cons

No concern for life-work balance. Incompetent engineering/maintenance management. Upper level management easily threatened by employees who either have superior credentials, abilities, skills or support from the production floor employees and managers. The management will fabricate and/or bend the truth to satisfy their personal agendas. There have been multiple times when the engineering/maintenance management has used the plant's safety rules/regulations to advance their personal agendas to terminate employees that they either were intimidated by, threatened by, or concerned that they knew information that would/could lead to their own dismissal. These same managers have knowingly and willfully violated those same safety rules to include LOTO to again advance their own personal agendas.
