      Pros

      Easy work Some very good people work there. If you get put in the right department, you will have a good time. The problem is that that's a pretty big if.

      Cons

      Management can be a bit cold and hostile, depending on which department you are in. They fixate on your shortcomings and mistakes and ignore your successes. Work is not challenging. Co-ops are expendable. They hire 5x as many co-ops as they intend to hire for full-time. They also will attempt to underpay you severely unless you aggressively advocate for yourself (but that applies to a lot of companies, I suppose). Little opportunity for long-term advancement. They won't admit it, but they are in decline. The whole industry is slowing down, and they are being left behind.

      Pros

      Good insurance. 5% 401k match. 7% of your gross goes in your 401k via profit share. Good amount of PTO. A lot of the people. Climate controlled. Clean environment.

      Cons

      Hourly pay too low to deal with their BS. Too much OT after promising none. Haven’t seen the plant manager in literally years. Production floor manager is full of it and plays favorites to the extreme. Unless you’re part of the clique, you’ll get nowhere. Instead of raises, we got board games for the break room. The restaurant in the building is gross and a joke. They preach that they’re “like a family”, but only because they want you working there for cheap. Should’ve never taken 12’s away just to mandate 10-20 hours of OT per week. No real recognition or appreciation ever.
