Pros

Checks were on time and no mandated OT.

Cons

Many cons. As you read other reviews not left by management, you can trust the truth if being reported. I wouldn’t say the ownership is the issue as much as the middle managers from the vp level and down. The VPs sitting at the office are not a very bright group, their “ideas” are costly and ineffective leading to missed goals. Then they blame the front line workers. They are also a very vindictive group, they will actively sabotage your chances of progressing within the company if they dislike you. If you are fired, they create absurd contracts to try to scare you into not reporting their actions. Lastly, they’ll follow you and work on sabotaging your attempts to move on to a new company and be successful. Even if you agree to not discuss their terrible management , they will still make false reports about you to new employers. Very terrible group. Im sure they will all be sued very soon for causing distress.

New Ownership is terrible

Pros

They deliver a paycheck ontime, Most workers are Awesome including the middle management. They did improve the 401K plan

Cons

We were promised the new ownership would be much better than the previous, Unfortunately that is not the case, They took away our annual bonus and replaced it with quarterly bonus with unrealistic goals so that we would not acheive goal and they do not have to pay bonus, They have stripped away the "family" feeling that this company once had, it is now run by just looking at the numbers, nothing else, they are in it for just the short term with the goal of selling the company in the next 2 - 5 years. If it weren't for the long term middle management there would be a mass exodus of employees from this company. I would suggest anyone looking to work at this company turn and run, find somewhere better to work, somewhere they value all employees.

Pros

Nothing to brag about here. The only positive is they deliver a paycheck on time.

Cons

One person does the job of 5. There’s almost no way to only work 40 hours a week and satisfactorily complete your job. I’d never recommend anyone to work here. Some employees go on a power trip and kiss too much upper management a**. Stay away if you respect your being.
