Pros

The management were very friendly, engaged and encouraging (including upper management). The work environment allowed for self expression in both your work space and with your co-workers. There were regular activities for employees as a group; holiday meals, seasonal events, ping pong tournaments, games in the break rooms, birthday and work anniversary celebrations, etc.

Cons

The position I was in at the time had a complete overhaul and was relocated under another company area and moved to a different building. The new process/job description did not promote a sense of ownership for the job and the department management change was not as positive as hoped.

Pros

the health benefits are very good

Cons

worked there for 7 years had a manger threaten my life once and nothing was done to him by upper management, they use intimidation and scare tactics to get the employees to do what they want and at every chance they take your vacation time away from you. None of the mangers or supervisors has ever printed before or been in manufacturing so they know nothing about the printing process. HR has little power to do anything about the problems there, mangers harassing employees until they get so mad they say something that gets them fired, changing the rules every month or so to give management the advantage not the employees, mangers pick at every little thing that happens on the production floor they worry too much about the little things but not about the big production issues that plague this company, like jobs never on time, or poor quality, and their ability to produce a quality product, quality is out the window the employees do not care anymore so they just go through the motions, there are production leads that take the step to rat on every employee for stupid little things and upper management thinks this is the proper way to treat people. They never listen to the people that operate the machines on the best way to increase production they just make up their own rules and procedures and make the operator do what they say, there is no compromise, its their way or the highway, and their way is 90% wrong, too bad the Ingrams don't know about the way the management team treats its own people.
