Pros

Good pay, fair benefits, focused career. This is a great place to work if you dream of a job like George Jetson's. If you want to get paid well, laugh at lots of jokes at the office, drink well into the evening at company parties and fraternize with the opposite sex, all while you get paid to push the same button all day long, this is an excellent place to work.

Cons

If you are an individual who wants to work at a company that is leading a technology market, listens to the subject matter experts, buys equipment that meets the needs of the floor or works with the engineering & production staff to define a direction for the company or business unit, this is NOT the place for you.

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.
