Pros

-Overtime galore -Close knit family like atmosphere -Decent Benefits -Top Out is adequate

Cons

-Unqualified personnel leading operations and maintenance/i&e dept. -Rather promote a partially qualified individual and cause more work on downstream than hire someone truly qualified -Turnover has grown tremendously in last couple years -Starting pay too low across the board to find good new hires -Nearly impossible to fire, leads to subpar workers being there a life time and others expected to pick up the slack -Understaffed in production Overstaffed upward -Doesn’t spend enough to actually maintain each unit like it needs to be -No real training program

Pros

Great people Great opportunities Willing to give more responsibility/grow Good work life balance while also still having good drive at work

Cons

Not a lot of cons, everyone is very understanding and the small office could be a downside for resources, but personally did not find that to be an issue
