Pros

Left when CEO Tom Johnstone retired. President alrik danielson ruined the company. New guy, I don’t know, but doesn’t understand or come from industry. The brand used to give access to customers and be perceived as leading, not anymore and not sure you can fix it.

Cons

Lost its direction when CEO Tom Johnstone left. Went from a leader, value based differentiating manufacturer to a let’s compete on price and volume. Industry (customers and Channel partners) do not respect them anymore. The smart good people left and went to competitors.

Pros

Fair health care pays minimum wage

Cons

Pays minimum wage hard to get a raise even when you do your best every year you might make 25 cents more if your lucky they make you learn multiple departments and pass tests in them and refuse to pay you more when you deserve it for doing multiple jobs at once because they want to pay less people. horribly understaffed people fire a quit constantly and asked when the cost of living has gone up why we are still being payed minimum wage when we've worked for them more than five years with insufficient raises that we can barely pay gas and buy food and if your lucky heat the apartment you can barely afford to survive in a whole department quit together I wish everyone would strike but no one can save even a dollar to afford to survive if they lose the job this place is a trap the machines are never updated some are from the 1950 and very dangerous I know we're just the little guys working for one of your many branches but please fix this your a multimillion dollar company and you can do better
