Pros

Not many. Definitely not enough to make me continue my employment long term. Benefits are decent. That’s the only positive at this juncture.

Cons

Management doesn’t care about its employees. Employee retention rate is abysmal. Zero organization. By working here you sacrifice quality of life. Recently got an email from the company asking employees to provide feedback on Glassdoor, so here it is. This company, or maybe it’s just the DeWitt, Iowa plant, is a train wreck. Look for employment elsewhere. Don’t even give this place a thought. Trust me.
