Pros

Gun Auctions unlimited overtime get to make guns

Cons

The gun auctions are almost nonexistent Have to work 7 days a week for double time on Sunday They keep taking perks away, no more outings They bring new people in at way more money than employees that have been there longer. They give them a $4000 sign on bonus. They pay for people to move here. The rest of us that have been here get nothing. Management is terrible. Very low morale. They change supervisors and managers every few months. In a meeting we were told we are desperate to hire people, but they have no problem firing anyone. We were told we need Sig, Sig does not need us. Management keeps trying different things to get parts out. They wont wait to see if the first thing worked. Its like the are throwing things at the wall to see what sticks. They ask for input, yet when we say something it is either wrong or they just don't listen. Supervisor tries to micromanage everything. Supervisor likes seeing the shifts fighting with each other. He thinks it produces more parts if we are trying to out do each other. Supervisor comes off as a bully. He doesn't realize or care its just bringing down morale even more. Supervisor is hiding rejected parts and putting them under hold so they aren't reported. Hes trying to make himself look better. Just be honest. Supervisor will say some nasty things, then apologize later for saying it. People are getting tired of it. You are still running the company like there are only a few hundred employees. You have the same managers and supervisors in charge. They haven't grown with the company. You have islands at sig. Some departments do whatever the hell they want. You need to bring in better people. Not from other failed gun company's. There's a lot of good people there, but you keep losing the good ones because of mismanagement.

Pros

-Employee discount (though it has decreased every year) -Workers tend to be more interested in getting along than infighting

Cons

-You WILL NOT be promoted, even within tracks where promotion wouldn't add responsibility, unless you suck up to management. You could be a level 1 doing the work of a level 4 for years. -Raises never keep up with inflation. You'll be lucky to get more than 3%. -Management doesn't honor doctor's notes, even in the case of severe illnesses. If you go over your 5 alloted sick days, expect to be written up.
