Pros

Overall is one of the best companies I've ever worked for as far as benefits. Great PTO time great contribution to your IRA and great pay.

Cons

Many times the people that I work with can be quite irritating and immature. Plus there's people there to continually cause scrap and reworking for some reason they let them stay there. As a member of the quality department this is quite aggravating.
