Pros

Pay is good. Coworkers are nice. Has a full service cafeteria that was about the only plus side to working here.

Cons

Too many cliques. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Always changing, doesn't matter how long you've been there they'll fire you, even if you're a good worker. Swing shift is rough but you get used to it. They don't close, even for hurricanes. They don't care about their employees or their families work you holidays and weekends.

Pros

Most colleagues were very good to work with. Benefits are on-par with competition. Free candy and ice cream!

Cons

Inconsistent management. If you got on the wrong side of your manager, forget any career progression. Your one-up manager will back up that manager, and there's no where to go except out. Management seemed to lack clear direction for the organization. Lots of organizational changes across the board. If you got a good manager, but you weren't a great employee, you could be around for a long time. The inverse is true as well, if you have a bad manager, but a good employee that hasn't been given opportunity, you could be out the door very quickly.
