Pros

Competitive pay and benefits for Fort Scott, KS

Cons

In Fort Scott KS They hire and keep drug users and low lifes and get rid of good emplyees. Drug users and supervisors that party with and sleep with their subordinate direct reports. Employees act like they are in high school. They would write us up for not wrapping enough belts but we would come to work and no belts at our machines to wrap. Our machine might be broken when we first set foot in the door.

Pros

There's a small handful of good people left there, but the plant manager started a class war by calling half the workers "unskilled" even though many of their jobs require more knowledge than most of the jobs that are labeled as "skilled".

Cons

Poor training programs. Little room for advancement. Great people that went unappreciated are leaving in droves. Probably fewer than 5 salary people in the plant are worth keeping.
