Pros

The salary was decent and the time off program was good.

Cons

Working environment is terrible - the people and the building. It is very old fashioned in every sense of the word. Managers live in the 1970's and 80's where everyone was not treated the same. People have worked there for 20-30 years and have no interest in changing with the times. There are holes in the roof that floods on a regular basis. It's a real safety hazard.

Pros

The people on the shop floor are great, but only if you can earn their respect.

Cons

No support from upper management. The company is cheap and does not want to pay fair market value for good employees. They allow continue to allow incompetent employees to stay and to continue making mistakes. They do not believe in promoting within either.
