Pros

No positives exist for this place of work

Cons

The owners claim to have family values, but then create unsafe work conditions for all their employees. The owner micromanages everyone, and even laughed when a co-worker was sprayed with high-temperature caustic. Also, the pay was far below average. I highly recommend you run the other way if you're considering a job at this place.
