Company offers good insurance, multiple company holiday lunches, company parties.

Medium sized company that still runs like a small business. In some cases that’s great, but if that’s not your cup of tea you won’t enjoy it.

Great benefits, lacking pay
Jul 21, 2022 - CNC Setup Machinist in Carpentersville, ILRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Health insurance is top notch, owner is a good natured and reasonable individual, profit sharing, company events are good, comfortable work environment.
Cons
The company uses overtime to boost take home pay so that many employees are underpaid, but still taking home yearly more than the competition can offer. When the company is doing well this is a bad trade, 50 hours a week for slightly above average yearly, but the second 'normal' overtime is cut you're making 60-80% of what your contemporaries at other companies make.

The other employees are nice.
Cons
What a mess, no direction from management, too many brand colors, underpaid and overworked, expected to do the amount of work an entire team does. Projects get sprung on marketing and then are mad when it can't be done in 2 hours flat.
