Pros

Good compensation and solid industry experience.

Cons

At least a third of the workforce gets fired or laid off, regardless of how well they performed their job function. I gathered that on average, they would keep employees about a year before terminating them. Very long hours (worked up to 80 as entry level, first tier management would see 100, don't expect a weekend off) and management with comic-book villain personalities that treat you awfully. I'd rather work at McDonalds.

Decent pay is about it (they will tell you anything to get you in the door though...I wanted training so of course I was told I would get it...but didn't)

Cons

No Bonuses Poor Management Poor work environments HR doesn't handle any HR related issues Expected to work +40 hours no questions Ridiculously high turnover rate...6 people in 1 week happily resigned...

Multitude of experience at a price. (Firth Rixson Monroe)

Business outlook

Pros

Get your feet wet in the forging industry. You can learn a lot in a small period of time. -Long leash. You get to do your job the way you want. -Pay is ok.

Cons

Promises of sales graduate program are a hoax. Meant as a place for senior management to give jobs to their relatives and connections who have yet to aspire in life. -Quarterly bonus program is not actually quarterly. -For salary workers 11h days are regular. Saturdays mandatory. Lunches discouraged. -Saturdays at the end of the month are 12h minimum days.
