Pros

Multiple work locations if you are interested in exploring new areas of the world. Lots of horizontal movement if employees want to try a new role.

Cons

Large disconnect between corporate and the manufacturing sites, high turnover rate, and poor culture. Salary is competitive to start, but is not likely to be adjusted for many years.

Pros

Good people working hard for a better future. Benefits are just competitive due to high deductible only options Company invests heavily in IT systems

Cons

Constant change in executive management and business model Negative benefit changes unless you are C suite Global business with many low cost foreign competitors Brand loyalty has been greatly deteriorated by poor management decisions High deductible health insurance with high monthly employee cost Employees are disposable assets especially during market declines 14k + down to 10k now and still shrinking to greatness Promised benefits were taken away over time. Not a trustworthy employer

Pros

Monday through Friday schedule Cafe at Latrobe campus PTO time

Cons

Terrible culture HR needs an overhaul from the very top down Too many upper management folks, not enough worker bees Overworked, underpaid Too much instability within company - always wondering if you’re next on the layoff list

Pros

Pay is absolutely amazing!! Life changing pay! You make Salary with amazing benefits

Cons

Policies need to be updated across the board!!

Pros

The work was fulfilling, and I could see the benefit that it had for both the company and the customer. Co-workers were supportive, and there's a lot of opportunity to learn and contribute.

Cons

Pay was mediocre. High wall street orientation means company is very sensitive to labor costs as a ratio of expenditure, so it's not very secure.

Pros

Benefits are pretty good for what they are

Cons

Management doesn’t listen to employees
