Pros

The benefits are good. They have a few experienced professionals. That is about all that can be said as a pro for this company.

Cons

Management has no clue at what they were doing. The manager with say one thing and the section supervisor will say another thing. They were never on the same page The environment use to be relaxed but know everyone is so tense. Communication between the sections and sites is non-existent
