Pros

Nice Building, Temperature Controlled, Clean. Lots of Parking Good Cafeteria Some Really Nice People Good Hours

Cons

Production Managers could be described as :aggressive, arrogant, condescending. Poor communication between departments regarding timelines, inventory and operations. Management errors flowed downhill - lower paid employees received blame for errors from higher offices. Nearly 300 on-site production, nightshift and warehouse jobs were lost in Spielo's sale to IGT. HR department was ineffective at anything apart from collection a paycheck. HR removed or deleted reports of managers' wrong doings from over a dozen workers. No opportunities for advancement or learning new skills. No recognition for previous learning or college education - emphasis placed entirely on university degrees. Pay is just above minimum wage, not suitable for long-term. No job security - nearly every person that is enters ends up quitting or eventually being terminated. We were constantly wondering if we were going to be eliminated, or if the company was going to fail first. Constant parts shortages - JIT was not implemented properly for seamless production on demand. Starting 2012, the company summer BBQ did not allow temp workers to partake in festivities. Rear parking lot security cameras did not work and were never fixed.

Pros

Flexible with hybrid work options however the degree of flexibility is highly dependent on your team/manager. The work is interesting.

Cons

The ability to move up depends a lot on your manager and relationships with others, not necessarily strictly your work product.
