Pros

The pay is good for the amount of work you do.

Cons

-Do not expect the HR dept to do anything about your situations. -Unpaid 30 min lunch -Benefits are terrible -Salaried employees get paid for 86 hours in 2 weeks, so anything after THAT is overtime. -Management has no clue as to what is going on. -The rules are over-ridden for certain people. -Nobody listens to anything you have to say about problems with the job. -You will work Mon-Sat, literally no exceptions -There is NO such thing as sick days, so please, dont be sick. -You work with a bunch of people who dont want to work. -The place is all about quality until a whole batch of parts are messed up and we have no more, then the bad parts are still used. So much for quality, huh? -They claim to be all about your safety and family comes first, but thats the biggest lie you will hear. -New people get paid more than others, depending on if youre liked, you might even get more vacation. -If you know someone that works there, you will get hired on faster just for knowing them. Therefore, the "you have to be there 6 months until youre hired on" doesnt apply to you. *My biggest CON: I was written up for missing days. I had a family member pass away, I let them know, and was not granted any type of grievance. Instead, when I came back to work, I got a write up. Thanks, guys.

Pros

People work hard A lot of locations throughout the US if you love to relocate You can move up the ladder very quickly if you are willing to relocate

Cons

Their sales have been dropping over the last few years, and they are trying their best to make it up by slashing cost everywhere they can. This includes constantly cutting benefits for their employees, delaying raises, hiring freeze after every Q2, Layoff's...(I probably have seen more round of layoffs than merit increases) Very high turnover 401k match vested at the end of each year. New policy to try employees to stay longer.
