Pros

The benefits package is somewhat okay.

Cons

Low pay. Engineers are required to sign a two year contract to stay with the company. Inherited a position where the last two engineers quit shortly after a year. The environment has plenty of passive-aggressive behavior along with Belief Perseverance. Some employees work with impunity even though they are destructive and abusive.

Pros

the market values its business and is capable of providing high quality products in a reliable manner.

Cons

Highly political environment that typically rewards political play. Often inexperienced business leaders end up surrounded by ineffectual management who race to the bottom in out-performing each other in political grab games.

Pros

The employees are great people who make it worth it and goes pay.

Cons

Employees are overworked to dangerous points, they are hiring people to work with very dangerous chemicals with no experience, training program is none existing, the supervisors show blatant favoritism in a union plant, aging workforce (they will lose half the plant in the next 5 years), the health insurance is horrible, supervisors constantly drop the ball and employees have to pick up the pieces which usually mean overtime, the plant is over 100 years old and it shows and safety is a joke here.
