Pros

Some good people left from back when culture was family-oriented and hard work was rewarding.

Cons

Most veterans and those with talent have left the company, and the rest are seeking other opportunities. The attempts to change the culture over the past few years have resulted in epic failures. The company has changed the operations team with lack-luster, self-serving micro managers. So many dollars have been spent to improve productivity, only to have taken ten steps back, rather than forward. Employees are left questioning how products can even be profitable, with numbers being manipulated by leadership, in an effort to distort what's really happening - thus preventing the truth from being discovered by those at the very top. The arrogance that resides within this company is nauseating.

Pros

No background checks. Good for people needing a job quickly.

Cons

Where to start? Poor leadership on all levels. A bunch of talk about quality and the customer but are happy pushing out inferior product and dealing with it later, but then blame all the workers (via no quarterly bonus due to impossible metrics they have little/ no control over) instead of correcting the workers responsible. They are SO CHEAP. Cheap in pay, cheap in providing what employees need in a timely manner or if ever, cheap in benefits, cheap all the way around. They want drones, not humans. Very high turnover rate. A lot of promises and little follow up. If you sign up for the annual company picnic and cant make it, they take money directly out of your check for each person signed up to go. Poor training. Reactive, not proactive.
