Pros

Good line people who really try. The person in charge of HR at the time I was there was for the employee's and was about the only one who knew what was going on - terribly unrecognized by Sr management. She could have run circles around them.

Cons

Worked there for a few years. Was told by a Sr person that "we tend to eat our own." Never knew what that meant until I saw some of the managers in action. Blowing up any single reason to fire someone because the manager does not personally care for them. Another Sr person was mad at an employee because they did not recall how to perform a task - when asked about it, the Sr person said "I showed them once, they should just remember." Brilliant. Had to laugh when I started reading references to "C" - they are spot on! She was like a car wreck - you just could not look away. I don't know if it's still in effect or not, but I was there when the owner banned music from the entire facility - way to motivate. They used to run the sales peoples results weekly on TV screens in an attempt to motivate them. The logic was that "no one wants to show up in last place."

Pros

My coworkers were a fun group to work with and made coming into work enjoyable. You get morning and afternoon breaks and a one hour lunch.

Cons

So the company always gets rid of the hard working employees that challenge upper management in any way or have intelligent ideas. If you are on their hit list you don't stand a chance! The owners are so out of touch with their employees that they don't even know what their own employees job responsibilities are so plan on doing the job of several positions but only getting acknowledged for one and you don't even get that! The people that do get acknowledged are some of the best brown nosers in the business so make sure that is in your resume if you apply for a job here. Don't expect a yearly raise I received one in the 6 years I was with the company. I tried to reward people under me but was denied with bogus excuses.
