Pros

The pay is okay (ish). PTO and other time off is pretty decent providing you have direct reports. Very intriguing product.

Cons

The company is extremely outdated in technology and managerial skills. If you have skill and experience, it will be wasted here. They have a 1980's dictatorship style of leading/managing. It is a revolving door for management. It is a very toxic environment in which you eventually believe is methodical. Because of the revolving door, your shift will change frequently and you will have to work many weekends and extended hours to cover the gaps. The HR dept and upper management are out of touch with family and work/life balance. If you have an ailment, you won't last there. If you are 50+ in age as a new hire, you are more likely just filling a gap temporarily. Most managers here are internal from the floor. They have knowledge of the components, but no managing skills. This is truly a "shoot from the hip" "day by day" company.
