Pros

Pay is marginally good compared to others in the area

Cons

-Furloughed employees before the beginning of the third quarter in order to avoid reporting at shareholders meeting. -fired employees who were furloughed in the start of the third quarter. -Management on a plant and corporate level continues to fail its employees by over producing until there is no work to be done and claim its consumer demand. -Puts all accountability on lowest workers and none on senior leadership. -Claims to put safety first, however there is no enforcement of this policy on their production floor and often times production>safety -On its way to more serious work related injuries if management doesn’t step in and hold leaders accountable. This is all from previous experience at the plant in Winchester, Virginia, USA

Pros

The work is hard, but that means most of the people are hard-working. There's a lot to like about the bonuses, benefits, etc. Things are trending positively and the company is growing fast, extremely profitable and passing a bit of that gain onto the employees. I'm very satisfied with my manager, and their manager; I believe there's a lot of people throughout the company that have excellent visions for the future and plans to get there.

Cons

Sometimes I feel like the success of the company is not passed onto the workforce -- that the base workers are just perceived as a monolith, and any improvements in the company are seen as coming from the upper management. There's an often repeated sentiment that a single yearly bonus of an executive is enough to give the entire workforce an extra 4k at the end of the year -- inaccurate or not, that's the feeling many people have. We know that it's a combination of production innovating, adapting and perfecting, and corporate innovating in the sales, distribution, and marketing sectors. However, I find that the cultural and geographical isolation of the plants from the offices means there's a greater number of challenges facing the effective growth of cross-functional teams and relationships. Company-wide transparency is improving but still pretty poor.

Seniority, work ethic, and knowledge mean nothing here.

Pros

The pay is good and they have decent benefits.

Cons

Layoffs without warning, terrible safety track record, some of the worst leadership I've ever seen, management at the highest levels are clueless to what's actually happening on the floor. When you work here, you are nothing more than a number. Regularly choose to ignore known safety issues and knowingly violate epa permits.
