Pros

Work is challenging Good people Decent workspaces

Cons

Since the acquisition, the company has been coasting on its old reputation while behind the scenes benefits are getting worse, compensation is getting slashed, and morale is at rock bottom. Management takes a "hey, that's business" attitude to benefits, but is slowly increasing pressure on employees to deliver results. I think it will get better once enough people have left that management can't ignore it anymore, but who knows what will be left then. What's sad is that it was a really good company once, and now it's more like a very average, stock-price-first / employees-last corporation.

Pros

40 hr/wk Easy work for the pay Ability to use vacation with little notice Some leadership is willing to help you move up and increase pay quickly

Cons

Leadership does not communicate with one another Little room to move up or into another department without someone leaving Poor standards in comparison to other sites within the company Employees who do not meet efficiency standards receive no consequences and are not informed of process issues (leadership issue) Tribal knowledge seems to run the site, not standard work It is a family affair.
