Disappointing

Anonymous employee

Pros

Some really great people with a lot of heart.

Cons

Upper management in the facility is a boys club. Overspending on frivolous offices, lunches and meetings while 99% of the plant does not reap the benefits. Decisions are made irrationally in boardrooms without much input from the production floor and experts. Improvements are constantly shut down not based on merit but whether you are part of the boys club or not. Hard workers are not appreciated and treated as disposable especially women.

Great coworkers but slowly running out of business

Quality personnel

Pros

The people working at this company for the most part are very nice and helpful. Some of the people in top management are quite down to earth and cooperative as well. As a result, you get to learn a lot in a shot span of time and make great friends.

Cons

Most people are overworked & underpaid (especially QA) and the company lacks day-to-day general planning/ organization which adds to work stress. Lower management spends too much time socializing and strategizing rather than getting things done. Company has imposed wage freezes so employees will basically never get a raise until things change for the better.

Unnecessarily stressful

Business outlook

Pros

Easy work for decent money. Great benefits. Indoors. Decent pension.

Cons

The majority of the staff are self-entitled whiners who don't really want to work. They spread a negative attitude throughout the company. All new-comers eventually get worn out of a positive attitude. Base salary is quite low at 16 an hour. It takes three years to get to top rate of 21. Afterwards, there are no further opportunity for increases.
