Pros

Located in Lexington, SC. Pay is good for those without a college degree. Good 401k plan with company match.

Cons

The company no longer cares for the employee's making the product. 28 years ago Pirelli cared and showed the appreciation for your services. Today they change policies that can affect you financially without your knowledge. Today they can force you to change your pay scale from weekly to bimonthly without going from blue collar to white collar non exempt so you get paid your OT but sometimes as much as 3.5 weeks after you worked the OT and should have been paid when the associate next to you was paid. After 28 years of living, breathing, being committed to the business my going away gift from the company was shorting me roughly $2300 of earned vacation time and my pay on my last check. Plenty of companies left out there that care for the employee's making the product.

Pros

Some of if not most people are friendly and supportive. Okay-ish benefits. Slightly better than the average I would say. Flexible hours for flex40 and salary people. In my particular case, they are very flexible when it comes to doctor appointments and kids' activities.

Cons

Emotional and mental damage from a toxic environment. Gossip galore and everyone is eager to point fingers or say "not my job". Managers who literally yell and curse at employees. Everyone is overworked and underappreciated. Sexism runs rampant. Communication between mangers, departments, and floor operators is non-existent. FAVORITISM EVERYWHERE! Certain people are treated differently because they are "in" with the right people in management. No one is treated equally. The machinery on the floor is old and falling apart.
