Pros

Employees are intelligent, goal-oriented people

Cons

This company is run by a delusional, schizophrenic president from the UK,along with owners from Germany. They do not allow the intelligent, goal-oriented people (afore mentioned) to contribute in any meaningful ways. The president will not heed any advice that is contracdictory to his own narcissistic style. He's a jerk, a man-child, and a bully, who is also so cheap he took away employee benefits until he realized he needed one such benefit. He avoids firing the one piece of dead wood in the staff, meanwhile everybody else needs to break their backs for him. Useless meetings with no agendas fill the schedules of the employees, preventing them from getting work done, and then he reprimands the staff when things don't get done. There is no way to excel in this environment. In the span of a year, nearly 25 people have either quit or been fired (although the president himself only had the dirty task of firing one person). When firings have taken place, the president was conveniently absent from the premises. Don't let the phony, hearty laugh of the so-called English gentleman lure you in at the interview.

Pros

Clean working area Flexible schedule Great team of people

Cons

This company is very discriminative against black people. I worked here for 4 years and during this time I saw how partial they were towards black people. They were fired mercilessly for things other people weren't. Policies are enforced partially across different people but severely on black employees. Too much favoritism, no career advancement at all, you are stuck doing the same thing over and over. Its a small company which uses employment agency. If you are offered a job here, make sure you read the policy of this company carefully and watch how it is enforced. If you speak up against you become a target for termination. Training is absent, they will dump you on a shift to run a machine with no adequate preparation and when you mess up it is termination. I liked working there because I had a great team of people, it was near my home and the schedule worked fine. Its a clean company, can be flexible with schedule sometimes.
