A very negative work environment

Pros

Tutition re-embursment, good coworkers that are very sympathetic and understanding as they are all in the same work environment too.

Cons

Very poor leadership from the top down. Mr. Knights attitude seems to be "This is my company and I will do as I please." Very little regard fro how he treats employees. Hire people for their expertise and then disregards their opinion, but is quick to place blame when thing go wrong. Upper management is filled with cronies and friends that are not qualified for the positions they hold. They will not go against what Mr. Knight wants for fear of losing their spot on the gravy train. Mr. Knight's family comes from the citrus industry, and to him his employees are just pickers. Hires machinists, trains them, and then wonders why they leave when they can make $3-$4 more down the road.

Pros

Firearms assembly knowledge, fellow employees are as down-trodden as you will be if hired and offer sympathy.

Cons

Low pay unless you are a friend of Reed Knight and land a management level position. Poor part quality offers lots of chances to do the same work twice. Good advice from the technicians with hands on knowledge is ignored. High turn-over rate so don't get to know anyone well. Don't ever expect a raise or to climb the company ladder. A promotion will probably not qualify for a raise.

A very backwards company

Pros

If you have no experience, this is the place for you. This company loves to hire inexperienced people because they do not have to pay as much. They much prefer to hire two level 1 people and split the pay of a level 2 then hire one level 2 person that could offer a whole lot more. Get it and get out.

Cons

Low pay, which is artificially low. You are not listened to, and you are punished when you share your knowledge. This is not advised, keep your head down. In 10 months, of the 300 people that worked there, in that time 300 people either quit or were fired and 300 were hired in. The turnover rate is bad here.
