Pros

Health Benefits are better than most. People are friendly for the most part. They like to tell you the business is fantastic but you won't see anything for it except videos every three months saying thanks.

Cons

You won't receive any time off from work until you're there 3 years. Terrible pay for office workers. Construction everywhere so you have to leave very early to get to work, you can't swipe in late or you get written up.

Pros

Good people, decent pay, good health benefits, easy work. Boot voucher once a year is nice. They take safety very seriously. Constantly check blood levels to keep everyone as safe as possible.

Cons

Poor vacation time, bad 401k, no paid sick leave, horrible life insurance (only 10k in the event of death), short and long term disability is ridiculous. takes forever to go dayshift. Little opportunities to advance, and if you do want to move up you better know someone high up! It's a job, not a career. Mandatory overtime in certain departments that may run 8 months out of the year. Poor planning ahead for orders. Poor upper management which trickles down to production. And it's definitely quantity over quality. Quality of product is a JOKE!

Pros

Benefits are good, Older generation family that runs the business is trying to do the right things for the company to grow. People here are the main reason there are so many long time employees, nice to work with and share the experience.

Cons

Younger family owners have no idea how to work in a professional environment or treat employees respectfully. Extremely old technology is used here, no large investment in latest equipment or software. Focus is constantly shifted so overall direction goes nowhere. Incompetent executive IT management with no understanding of how to implement business systems.
