Pros

The only one I can think of is you can get covered parking if you come early.

Cons

work does not get appreciated no matter how hard you work. You are expected to work extra hours. Company has been bought by IPC couple of years back and since then company is looking for a cost cutting in everything. New management is not cooperative at all and you always work under pressure of loosing your job. Do not expect that you would get the benefits (apart from 401K) written in HR policy; because for the benefits you will need the approval from your manager and then his manager. These managers will never approve your request under the excuse of cost cutting. The system and the processes this company follows are completely outdated. Therefore, work experience here will never help you in your next job. The job profile mentioned in the job description and described by the HR/hiring manager is completely different than what you actually do. No matter how hard you work you will hardly get any raise and the bonus. One supervisor worked here for almost 40 years and company did not even arrange any farewell or give any gifts for him under the excuse of he is not retiring but quitting (he was quitting because of his personal reasons just an year before his actual retirement)...the coworkers are super gossipy... if you say anything to anybody here all the facilities (manufacturing and DCs) will know that. No comments about the politics over here...I am desperate to look for another job..if you get any opportunity to work here specially into operations (purchasing/planning/sales/marketing) please do not accept...if you still accept it then good luck and God bless you...

Pros

It pays well but only for working 60+hrs. If they ever actually cut the hrs like they constantly say it pays average. Depending what they bring you on at and or drop your pay to that is....

Cons

It's a joke. Management talks down to everyone as a whole like you're misbehaved ignorant children. Everything is a priority so nothing is ever accomplished. If you have to come in late they tell you that you have to stay late. If you have to leave early they will tell you to come in early. They pay everyone differently and tell you that you can not discuss pay with each other (because they're shady). They bring people in making more than those who have been there for years. They will drop your pay as a temporary. They will fire people for next to nothing such as an accident. Some in the company in different areas work a straight 12 hrs with a 30 minute break while others work 12.5hrs and 30 minutes is taken off their pay for their same 30minute break. They laid off people who had been their 35years while keeping new lesser paid employees instead of their loyals that helped drive the company. They do not care about you. It's good if you have no social life no family no hobbies and you need some money until you find a career. But be careful if word gets out you're looking they will find the reason to fire you. Mandatory 12hr days 7days a week happened here. For 2 months.
