Pros

Phenomenal coworkers Strong development focus, supported by culture and resources Strong support of diversity and inclusion Respect for work/life balance Many great leaders Opportunity to grow and move to new positions (even new functions) throughout career if you're performing well

Cons

Decisions can take too long The way you present yourself to certain people can be almost as important as what you contribute to the business

Pros

Amazing family feeling one you start working there by the time you trust some of your co workers you will already have a few knives in your back. Benefits are amazing from day 1. health/ dental/ 401k match at 6% You cant look at the job itself, you have to look at the big picture (job/people/benefits) to keep you sane enough to keep working there. Bonus checks and raises. Employee sales.

Cons

Everyone will act like your best friend, but will throw you under the bus at the first chance they get. Management is a JOKE! Well atleast on day shift! A production worker can be there for 10 years, but we get a new Management Intern thinking they can tell us how to run, just because they have a degree and bent over to get in the door. God for bid you have a issue with your boss, and go to their boss, you will get the run around saying "I dont think theres a problem here, I think you two just see on different levels" Favoritism to the max!!!!! meetings all the time. (osha/communication/AM's/) Cant just work your 8 hours a day and be done. Trying to make production machinery older than me run with NO downtime.. Too cheap to just get newer. Management is constantly saying we strive to be the best, but an hourly production worker has no voice! were their puppets making the daily production goals. :( They dont care about the work/life balance. They say they do, but in reality working 6 days a week for 3 weekends in a row, with only 1- 2 day weekend a month is a little bull%^#! The only thing they care about is that they have a body to fill a spot in. The more positions you know the more you get $#!@ed!!! TL doesnt care how many you know, or how flexible your being. High turnover rate!!-- Can you blame them??
