Pros

Benefits and work schedule is flexible.

Cons

I have never seen a company that makes as many absolutely terrible business decisions in my life. In the 3 years since were were purchased they ran us into the ground and shuffled more than 4 different managers over our facility.

Pros

the employees are top notch but completely demoralized.

Cons

Now the latest news. Not a surprise to anyone who knows how the China group was set up without our help here in Eden Prairie. They have known about these problems for years. Here we go again. Just like the all the stuff that happened in the past with violations a few years ago. Nothing has changed. Its not just words here its fact now. just look at what they did in China and the latest news.
