Pros

Very nice co-workers. Hard working people with decades of experience. Decent medical and dental benefits. Work life balance is awsome because no one works OT due to the change in policy.

Cons

Management takes advantage of employees due to their longevity at the company. Removal of OT and Call-in policies without any written notice. Straight time on worked holidays. No double time. No reimbursement for using your cell phones for business. No money for improvement to building. Limited money for production machine improvement. Very old machines. The manufacturing building is literally a step back in time 2 decades. Dell desktop PCs are at least 15 years old. Chemical factory with no hot water in the rest rooms. Low lighting in work areas. High turn over on new employees. Two years is the average due to the contract they sign you on with a great bonus. Above average annual review but received 1.5% raise. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Pros

There are no pros to consider

Cons

In my experience, the work environment is negatively critical, and feedback often felt focused on mistakes rather than development. Upper management did not appear to encourage open and honest discussion, making it difficult to raise concerns or share ideas. Compensation seemed below market rates compared to similar roles in the industry. Over time, morale appeared to decline, and many employees became disengaged and less confident in their work. Several talented colleagues left during my time there, and turnover seemed consistently high.
