Pros

Competitive salary. Great work environment. Very "Minnesota Nice" feel about it. Family oriented. The plant culture is amazing. The people (operators and mechanics) are all very dedicated to their job which makes it extremely enjoyable working with them.

Cons

The programming should be rebranded - they are moving away from the engineering roles and are moving more towards operations and team leading roles. In addition, the leadership team makes decisions that impacts peoples lives without truly understanding the full implications.

Pros

Great culture and truly amazing coworkers. Strong company history of success with iconic brands.

Cons

The company is going through a super tough season. Lots of jobs being moved offshore and it feels like nonstop restructuring / job loss. Job security feels very tenuous and morale is low.
