Pros

Formica has multiple manufacturing lines so its great to get a feel of different processes. The management there is great at giving you the freedom to be as independent and involved as you'd like.

Cons

At times company morale, on the floor, was difficult for someone new to the workforce to overcome. At times workers would give you a hard time with whatever you might be trying to do because you were interrupting their process. This gave the feeling that you were inferior and didnt matter. However, once you got to know them and learned to work with them, they were all great and helpful.

Pros

Easy job on day to day tasks. But that’s only because management is severely lacking. Decent pay, company vehicle, typical benefits (health care, 401k, etc.)

Cons

Management structure with No direction, No focus or a real understanding of what influences end user buying decisions. They don’t even perform a basic market swat analysis to understand what they could be doing better. Why? Because we invented this stuff, and have been doing it for 110+ years do we know it all. Well then, enjoy your 30% market share there buddy.
