Pros

Most of the people are friendly. After 6 months, if you qualify, office personnel gets put on 9-80 schedule.

Cons

I wish I had an honest review before joining this organization. - Politics within all levels of the organization. - Toxic environment - High turnover rate - Wacky "Vacation Plan" - Low Pay (Well below industry standards) - CYA Mentally (Blame Game) - "We have been doing it this way for years" mentally - Positions are filled with incompetent & inexperienced personnel (button pushers) - It's not my job attitude (no team work) - Promises of advancement opportunities backed with false promises. - Favoritism is well known and if you are not liked by the "key people" good luck moving up. - Most of the time you are rewarded for hard work but here....the only thing hard work means is more work. - Employees scared to make decisions. (simple day to day task) - Issues go unaccounted for. - No communication. (if you are stuck with the ball you are left to blame) - Management has no filter and will talk to you as if you were a dog. - No checks and balances for reoccurring mistakes. - No training (sink or swim)

Pros

- great starting company for anyone looking enter the industry, with minimal experience - most employees who want to stay, have been able to do just that, without too much fear of downsizing (mainly due to the job security that a high voluntary turnover rate brings) - if you keep your head down, complete assigned tasks, and do what you can for the people running around handling production emergencies, you will be viewed as an asset instead of a liability. - room for advancement due to high turnover and unmotivated peers

Cons

As with most worksites, Middle Management has the responsibility of standing up to contribute/shape to Upper Managements vision and while simultaneously providing their subordinates with the resources necessary to succeed. This company’s Leadership team has difficulty relaying their standardized vision to Middle Management, and Middle Management seems to be more of a roadblock than a resource, when it comes subordinates’ success. And with all levels turning a blind eye to their faults, this culture/climate has been present for at least 6 years, and is slowly continuing to deteriorate. There is a Welker review on March 10, 2016 entitled “Low Pay + High Demands = High Turnover + Low Morale” that lists many of the Cons that come to mind. Imagine that list, plus all the tangential issues that come with dealing with them ineffectively.
