Pros

Decent starting salary with average benefits package

Cons

Management would do anything to prevent employees from unionizing, which led to an unhealthy work-life balance where working beyond the standard 40 hours a week was the norm. Constructive feedback was notably absent, and employees faced terminations without explanation, justified by vague "company policy." Management also frequently discussed their conservative views and criticized opposing beliefs, creating a divisive and hostile work environment. Although administrative positions are listed as entry-level, they would realistically require at least three years of experience to navigate the insufficient training and lack of feedback effectively.

Pros

Almost no Pros for this position, if you are just looking for a manufacturing role this seems like an alright company that at least tries to care about you. The free lunches are usually pretty good too.

Cons

Bad pay, very strict time schedules, and ZERO engineering experience expected to be gained from this role. You are treated as a full time manufacturing associate. This entire company does not know how to utilize talent accordingly, engineers are doing menial tasks and you are doing NOTHING. Every promotion or managerial position seems to be decided entirely on if you are related to someone higher up in the company or if you are buddy buddy with a manager.
