Pros

The people are generally friendly, but that's about it.

Cons

Where to begin. This place has so many problems. First, the pay is absolutely disgraceful. Unless you make it to upper management, expect to be payed far too little for your time. And they refuse to increase pay to match with increased cost of living. Big reason to avoid this place. Second, promotion is based more on who you know rather than what you know or how much you work. You can do everything right, put in the extra effort and do tons of overtime but if you aren't either friends or related to the higher ups (like dating/married to the president's daughter) you aren't going to make it out of the lowest ranks. The talk of "you get what you put in" is just not true. If I could give this place less than one star, then I would. It's needs to do some serious soul searching, if it even has one.

Pros

They haven't moved production to China yet

Cons

Unethical and unstable management. They yelled at the whole team periodically because no business plans are in place and they just panic.

Pros

Good entry-level production and engineering job for individuals looking to get into the field, or try a new career path; friendly, approachable peers who strive to help one-another succeed and grow; management is very open to feedback in regards to improvements or suggestions on production processes; excellent overtime possibilities; bi-yearly bonuses based on time worked and performance

Cons

Despite being open, and listening to employee feedback, management is often hesitant to take action outside of kind reassurance; Poorly maintained chain of command often has employees wasting time attempting to find a "responsible" party for solutions to work related issues; Interdepartmental cross training is almost non existent, generating confusion between what a customer has ordered and what/'how much' merchandise can be made. Ultimately this job suffers from a lack of discipline among its management staff. There is clearly an issue of objectively arbitrary job titles and a near equal number of individuals who are "bosses" to those who are entry level employees.
