Pros

Great benefits. 401k package and two profit sharing bonuses that are not evenly distributed unfortunately. Also a windfall bonus at the end of the year.

Cons

Company let’s each manager have their own rules in their departments without consequences. No set rules for entire company. The higher up people just assume the people that are below them are actually doing their jobs. Bullying and intimidation are allowed from other employees and managers also. It depends on who you know or who you are related to. There is also a great amount of nepotism that is so blatant. There is also a problem with some people that just do not want to work which will of course weigh others down. I wish they would become the company it used to be.

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.
