Pros

Good start to career with great benefits. Awesome 20 cent pay raises once a year that really help you buy a soda pop every now and then for you and your family. Maybe even a pack of gum.

Cons

Hard work will never pay off here. Doesn't matter how many hours or how hard you work it doesn't pay off. My first year, experienced employees that have already been through the system told me to stop busting my butt because they have seen it too many times and it doesn't help at all. One of the hardest working and honest employees there. I have been lied to multiple times by my "higher ups" to the point where it drove me to hate my job.

Stable company with people that want to make a difference. Great place to learn about manufacturing practices.

No clear job roles and the company tries to squeeze work out of lower level engineers.
