Pros

Company has been around for over 100 years. Pay and benefits are average. Most of the employees are good people to work with.

Cons

Management worried too much about what the plant looks like to the eye rather than organizing things that would make it easier for workers to perform their jobs. Example: Too much time is spent looking for things that have been misplaced because no one knows where it supposed to be or where to put things when they're done with it. Some workers with less talent get preferred treatment with extra overtime hours or promotions because they are "kiss ups" or "rats" while more talented people are stuck where they are.
