Pros

Unique industry accepted Brand Leader in Forging products line Great People who really want to create success Non-Union Environment

Cons

No incentive program Clueless upper management No Strategic Planning Dis-functional stove piped new product development process Poor internal communications Very reactionary upper management to bad news Archaic IT systems Three Reductions In Force (Layoffs) in less than 18 Months. Senior Management (Selective Director Level personnel) Very insecure and abusive No people skills Reviews are totally subjective without any objective or goal related criteria applied. Work Hard, Play Hard Culture Leaves one to question judgement of leaders Site leadership practices and practically encourages infidelity outside of work to ensure his own actions are considered normal and acceptable. I could go on.....
