Business Outlook
Pros
Family owned, access to upper management, fiscally strong. Opportunities to learn many aspects of manufacturing.
Cons
While the company has a diverse book of business, individual locations are primarily producing for one or two customers. This means if a specific customer or plant is down or on strike, the plant is forced into layoffs and downtime. There’s a vibe that the company hasn’t progressed much since the early 90s in many facets-systems are outdated, policies and benefits are outdated and there’s a boys club feeling to the place (imagine mad men). Desperation keeps management from getting rid of employees who need to go. Corporate/upper level approvals and red tape make quick decision making hard at a plant level.
