Pros

Great co-workers, nice facility use to be a great company to work for until greed became a factor.

Cons

Cuts pay with 2 day notice company does not care how it affects it's employees. People at the top are not really valued. Management is a joke and supervisors are their muppets. No communication, you will be lied to your face. To much micro management. You have to kiss butt and be fake with your bosses and their programs are so out dated and crash to much.
