Pros

Worked with some really smart people, Mature organization - Systems and processes are well established, Immigrant friendly, Good work-life balance depending on the role / manager, Good reputation, Average pay for the location

Cons

1. Hard to grow professionally - It's hard to move-up. You plateau after a certain point. Lot of leaders linger around in the same pay grade for ever since they cannot grow. You will be competing with someone for a job who has 15 years more experience than you. For people with high aspirations, this acts as a roadblock. Moreover, the company hasn't been growing off for a while which makes the situation really bad when it comes to opportunities. Unless, you have a strong network, you cannot grow. 2. Location - Columbus, IN might not be for everyone 3. Cyclical market - Hire and fire once every 3 years 4. No risk taking ability - It's a very conservative environment. Employees aren't encouraged to think out of the box. They want you to follow the process.

Pros

You get paid for doing OT on weekends at the plant I work at now If you are in a shift that has less staffing you might earn more money on weekends as you will not have anyone to rotate with or less people to rotate with I am happy to have a manager who understands I have a lot of work pressure

Cons

If you are in a shift that has less staffing you will have a lot of work to do. For me the con is lots of work pressure in the shift I work. I think I do the work of atleast 2 people and sometimes even more. First shift will have people to rotate on weekends. Unfortunately 2nd shift doesn't have people to rotate with. We end up working every weekend but have same number of vacation days. People in 2nd can get there vacation days used up before other shifts. But still I would say its a good company considering I work in a manufacturing facility.
