Pros

Benifits are decent. Some experienced long-term employees.

Cons

Manufacturing/fabricating: Hiring isn't based on competence. ZERO accountability for consistent poor decisions by managers. Directors having inappropriate relationships with subordinates. Pay increases do not keep up with inflation. Employees poorly supervised allowed to wonder entire shifts with no specific duties assigned, sleeping in vehicles while on the clock. VERY poor working environment due to excessive noise levels. Requested to run equipment keeping corporate fooled into believing parts are being processed, when they're not. I was asked to lie multiple occasions. In my decade's of experience in manufacturing, I've never seen a division so poorly managed and run.
