Pros

Great place to get experience in manufacturing. There are a lot of talented people that work here and willing to teach you if you’re willing to put in the hard work to learn.

Cons

Pay is extremely terrible. Some of the managers will try and fight hard for you to get more but HR and upper management don’t want to budge at all to pay people what they’re worth. It’s the reason this place can never keep or hire good talent. Most salaried positions are paid 20-30% under the bare minimum of national average low side. Quality is preached as the number one focus but production managers could care less and just want to hit numbers no matter what. Lots of money is wasted just to try and hit higher production numbers.

Pros

It’s a job. Most people are nice. Interesting work.

Cons

More work, less pay. They did away with overtime for salaried employees, so moved most hourly to salary. But still require the same 50-60 hours per week to get your job done. Stopped covering shut down and now have to take vacation time. Medical costs skyrocketing. Long term people and management leaving, so staff are required to take over their duties (and hours) for no additional pay. People are stressed and it’s beginning to show in their health and attitude. Don’t know any long term employees that aren’t looking elsewhere for a job.
