Pros

Full time job & management passes out beer during company community day! Also, at times the maintenance shop is more like a barroom.

Cons

1% across the board raise for hourly employees while management receives large bonuses. Interoffice affairs are common place & appear to be the only way to move up the ladder. Place has gone down hill under the direction of the current factory director in VT. Benefits are constantly taken away & headcount is being cut causing people to work in unsafe conditions. Yet management threatens people with termination if they get hurt. Accidents are hidden & hourly employees work in a hostile fear driven environment

Pros

Great people, strong brands, and a lot of ownership. I’ve had opportunities to manage large spend portfolios, lead cross-functional projects, and work with teams across Supply Chain, Finance, Quality, and R&D. The company invests in development and provides exposure to senior leadership that can help accelerate your career.

Cons

Performance and rewards don’t always feel aligned. High performers can sometimes feel underappreciated, and career advancement can be slower than expected due to organizational complexity and internal politics. Decision-making can also take longer than it should because of the number of stakeholders involved.
