Pros

Not much of a challenge Just go to work and do you job nothing to take home Its easy to get hired

Cons

The salary sucks. Its a long drive. They know that people need jobs so they pay minimum wage and expect us to work like someone who is making double that. They only promote family and friends or friends of family/friends. No matter how hard you work, it really won't get you any further. People make up rumors about you and spread them throughotu the plant. Managers dont act like i think managers should, they should encourage people to do better for themselves. They just kind of bring you down, making you know you will never be anything more than that. They act like your making a good decision when you are being interviewed. after that, they want nothing more to do with you and make sure you know that you work there by choice and if you don't like it you can leave. But you need a job, so you just keep going.

Pros

Close to home, benefits were okay.

Cons

No one was treated equally. Upper management made you feel like a peon. It is IMPOSSIBLE to support a family on the wages paid to bindery employees. No promoting from within the company, Some supervisors were entirely incompetent, and quick frankly, had NO BUSINESS being in the positions that they held.

Pros

The owners have good intentions. The work hours are reasonable. Management is considerate of family functions and allow me to leave work for my kids school progams. They let us go home early for inclement weather, because the location is very rural and travel is dangerous. They allow us to work from home if it is too dangerous to drive. The company is expanding

Cons

Slow and fragmented decision making Less than 10% of employees have any college education, resulting in limited exposure to diversity and professional growth. Hierarchical Management Management often goes through the motions, does not embrace change Veteran employees will not accept change, including new employees, and management does nothing to resolve this issue. Inequality between departments. Will step over a $1.00 to pick up a $0.01 Does not focus analytics in right areas Issues with sharing of resources and information across functional areas Veteran employees withhold important information from new employees as a means of job security, while hurting customer relations. If you don't follow the "clique leader," even as a veteran employee, your job will suddenly become extremely difficult. Veteran employees will do anything they can to keep new employees out. Department managers encourages this behavior, and the owners are blind to it. There is too much nepotism, resulting in uneducated, unprofessional, and incompetent management.
