Cons

Limited flexibility when wanting to move to different city.

Pros

My coworkers are awesome to work with.

Cons

NO work life balance at all. Management only worries about numbers not employees. Management can't figure out why people continue to leave even though majority of the employees have pointed out to them all the OT is running people away. Told Mon. thru Thurs. with an occasional Friday, but it's been every Friday and some Saturdays. Work hours are 6:00am to 4:30pm and they will come up at 4:17 and say we have to work to 5:00pm. They allow people to just sit around doing very little work and never say anything to them but say something to someone who works non stop when they sit down. They allow (even though they say their interview process stops it) favoritism between Section Managers and people that sit around. Section managers create a lot of hostile work environments, and upper management never does anything about it. They are all about finding the root cause of problems but still will not address the elephant in the room why people continue to leave!

Pros

Very reliable, professional and stable company. It is a great place to work, family-oriented environment. Benefits are at par with other comparable companies.

Cons

Most job locations are not major city centers. If you have limitations on geographical mobility, it may impact your career progress. Career advancement may take longer due to structure and implied rules and adherence to historical practices.

Pros

It’s a slow to medium paced environment. People for the most part are friendly.

Cons

Employs no work experience people and tends to cater to them. New hires with little to no work in manufacturing tend to do as little as possible and get away with it. When you tell them to do something they complain and cause a fuss and file complaints.

Pros

The work can be hard but there's a supportive team and lots of training. They really emphasize safety and providing resources for the employees. There's even fun events, like family days. The bonuses and benefits are great.

Cons

The pay can be a but more competitive in comparison to other employers in the area. It seems they are working on that. Sometimes too the team leads on the floor often let the coworkers set the tone and problem solve themselves, which can be great if everyone has a positive mindset; however, if there's cliques or someone who wants to act with selfish intentions, the team dynamic can turn sour as "them v. us" mentalities form. Then a couple people are forced to do the hard jobs and it gradually tears up their bodies.

Pros

Salary, benefits, amazing team members, and people who want to see everyone succeed because they understand that’s how you retain good talent.

Cons

None to note at this time.

Pros

There's something for everyone here. Big company, specialization, room to grow, good pay.

Cons

Inconsistent culture from one part of the company to another.

Pros

The people are very welcoming, the product is interesting, the internal processes and tools are solid

Cons

Remote work could have been better executed with better hardware

Pros

Good job. Safe environment. Good pay

Cons

I like my job and the team I work with/for
