Pros

good starting vacation, 401k, no expected OT for salary, opportunity to travel

Cons

Good luck making an impact. Innovation is punished. Keep your head down. Don't speak up. The management layer accepts no input of any kind from anyone. The place is terminally over-managed but there are no leaders. There are 15+ management positions overseeing only ~110 employees. That level of overhead is not sustainable. Production volume is being sent overseas.

Pros

Company has a nice long history

Cons

HR and new management is foreign and has no knowledge or understanding of local,state, federal laws or USA best business practice. Leadership is by fear. Tremendous distrust and dishonest management. Strong anti American sentiment by foreign managers. Terrible age and ethnic and nationality bias. If you are Caucasian American over 40, you will be overlooked and devalued. There is chronic change with no clarity or clear vision. Morale is very low.

Pros

The company treated their employees well and the pay was good.

Cons

The long time managers/employees. No way to report management without being retaliated against.
