Pros

Updated buildings and as a whole a solid product line. Most of the current employees are very talented. The company has good potential if they get there act together.

Cons

Upper level management needs to listen to the employees and stop being the negative ones. There is so much negativity from this level and tension in the air that its sickening. Most employees are working harder and longer than needed out of fear of loosing there jobs. This is a very negative environment at this time and it starts with some of the unrealistic expectations of the upper management, directors, and V.P.s. You are not allowed to voice an opinion to someone, because if one of the directors hears about it your cornered and confronted. People have lost their jobs based on comments made. So much for freedom of speech. The company has lost a lot of top notch talent and its a constant revolving door of people. Most workers in my department are currently looking at other opportunities and sending out there resumes. The overall view is your just an employee, do your job as your told or your out of there. The company will always have someone to fill your shoes. The company is also below average on compensation. Again we have lost a good number of people due to this. Not every year is going to be a banner year, but treat your employees good, and you will be amazed at how much more productive they will become.

Pros

No background checks. Good for people needing a job quickly.

Cons

Where to start? Poor leadership on all levels. A bunch of talk about quality and the customer but are happy pushing out inferior product and dealing with it later, but then blame all the workers (via no quarterly bonus due to impossible metrics they have little/ no control over) instead of correcting the workers responsible. They are SO CHEAP. Cheap in pay, cheap in providing what employees need in a timely manner or if ever, cheap in benefits, cheap all the way around. They want drones, not humans. Very high turnover rate. A lot of promises and little follow up. If you sign up for the annual company picnic and cant make it, they take money directly out of your check for each person signed up to go. Poor training. Reactive, not proactive.
