Pros

1. The benefits are quite good and reasonably priced. Not a lot of companies these days offer low cost benefits such as medical/dental/life insurance, etc. 2. The pay scale is not bad, though it could be much better given the amount of experience & competence required. 3. The company has been around for a long time and doesn't show any signs of going anywhere. Also something not common with a lot of companies these days in this horrible economy! 4. The amount of time off given per year is pretty decent, though that could also be more liberal in my opinion.

Cons

1. Most of the "management" has no clue what the people in the field experience on a day to day basis. 2. Too much emphasis on "ISO" certification and not enough emphasis on using common sense to resolve a problem. 3. Expectations of doing multiple jobs when it's impossible to do so, and absolutely no willingness on management's part to explore the possibilities of other options before implementing new "processes". 4. Too much emphasis on "numbers", without realization that data can be simply WRONG. 5. Unwillingness to compromise on policy when it's clearly demonstrated that policy doesn't work at all!

Pros

Excellent benefits package — flexible PTO, strong 6% 401(k) match, and solid health insurance coverage. Overall a stable, well-known employer.

Cons

Bloated headcount with poorly defined roles in manufacturing — many employees lack clear work scope. Heavy corporate politics with leadership positions held by individuals lacking industry expertise or best-practice knowledge.
