Pros

Nice people. Decent benefits. Quarterly bonus structure. HR manages benefits internally (not outsourced) - so they're available onsite to assist with questions.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations. More concerned about hitting deadlines so upper management gets their bonuses than the actual success of a project. Although it's been a publicly held company for a while, it's still very much in transition. The company has an extremely aggressive growth plan but is lacking basic fundamentals to get them there. Small company mindset - they don't even realize what they don't know. Expected to constantly travel between plants without any kind of reimbursement. Micromanagement at all levels, even the executive level. Not open to flexible work options (working remote).

Pros

No background checks. Good for people needing a job quickly.

Cons

Where to start? Poor leadership on all levels. A bunch of talk about quality and the customer but are happy pushing out inferior product and dealing with it later, but then blame all the workers (via no quarterly bonus due to impossible metrics they have little/ no control over) instead of correcting the workers responsible. They are SO CHEAP. Cheap in pay, cheap in providing what employees need in a timely manner or if ever, cheap in benefits, cheap all the way around. They want drones, not humans. Very high turnover rate. A lot of promises and little follow up. If you sign up for the annual company picnic and cant make it, they take money directly out of your check for each person signed up to go. Poor training. Reactive, not proactive.
