Pros

I love working here so much. I constantly have new and interesting projects and autonomy to decide how to approach my work. Our leadership cares about everyone here. They work really hard to keep a great work environment, open an honest communication and a safety place to work. This is a place you can call home: many employees have been here a long time which allows deep integration into the company and the ability to create pathways to success.

Cons

No company is perfect. While we are facing changes, there are things that are evolving (updating technology, formalizing procedures, etc.). that come along with any company change. It's important to not get hung up on what's wrong, but to focus on what is happening, progress and benefits with that actions.

Pros

They pay you. It's a job. You will constantly meet new people.

Cons

Company pays below market. Management moves like a revolving door. Training doesn't exist. They preach safety as a buzz word but only practice it when they want an excuse to fire people. Shop conditions are equal to that of a sweat shop. Management mocks and insults employees behind their backs about things like: work ethic, sexual orientation, weight and life style choices. The only way to push "leadership" into doing anything is by calling OSHA. They boast about doing quarterly reviews but barely manage to complete yearly reviews. Constantly "restructuring." "Leadership" will pass the buck to the workers when it comes to failure to meet goals and deadlines. Very poor communication from management. No direction given. Dirty work environment. Encourage you to come to work when sick. Fails to adapt to modern times. Encourages you to come to work sick. You don't have a voice. Management will steal your ideas and give you little or no recognition for them, Employee of the month/quarter program is a joke and has often been awarded to people in management roles. Fails to follow corporate initiatives. Boasts about promoting from within but constantly hires from the outside. Fails to even post opportunities to current employees first and if you do manage to hear about a new position you are often stonewalled from being promoted. Diversity and Inclusion doesn't exist.

Unstable

Recommend

Business outlook

Pros

Pay is decent and people are good to work with

Cons

New owners (KPS), and their selected leaders, have destroyed the leadership organization. Leaders with 20+ years of experience in the industry have left the business. Both by choice and forced exits. This makes for a very unstable work environment and questionable future. KPS has made it clear that they intend to sell this division in the next 3-5 years.
