Pros

Good Benefits and overall good people to work with.

Cons

Micro Management from top Management. Screaming, yelling, and belittling of employees and other Managers especially if you don't agree with top management or have a different opinion. No longer has a positive reputation in the community.

Pros

Compensation is great. Benefits are middle of the road. They have a pension. Plant Supers and Assistant Supers are great people and very knowledgable. Japanese employees are very polite, kind, and helpful.

Cons

Toxic work environment from plant manager. Yelling and belittling is a daily occurrence. People sit on information in fear of the backlash, which creates a worse situation. (Not that bringing the issues up really does any good.) Maintenance management is very weak technically and in people management. (Most maintenance personnel are actually incredibly good at what they do.) Program roll-outs are not completely thought through and executed in a sloppy manner. Seems like management read a book and now they are trying to implement. CEO and President claims safety and environment are #1 in the company. However, these departments are composed of a maximum of 2 people. What is said by global top management is not what is taking place at the plant level.

One of the Best

Pros

One of the best companies to work for in way of long term benefits. Better than average benefits package which includes: 401K, Pension, Health dental and vision, short term and long term disability. Vacation 2~5 weeks depending on length of service, and personal sick leave. Not sure if this a Pro or Con but since 2007 the company has not stopped construction or Expansion. So you are always busy.

Cons

Sick leave is considered a benefit but called personal paid absence and is monitored. So be careful on usage.
