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

Benefits are average. Lots of experienced co workers who are very knowledgeable. People really step up and try to help each other, despite managements attempt to silo every group from each other.

Cons

Management gets in the way. Too many processes that slow down the ability to deliver to the customer. Management is clueless as to how things really get done and just end up being an obstacle to work around.

Pros

The only Pro is the location.

Cons

When you work here it's like walking on egg shells. You do one little thing, they are on you like a hawk. There is a toxic environment here. Most in upper management have no tack. The management doesn't care how they speak to you, most of it is in a toxic way. They force overtime. Even if you are sick, you get a bad mark on you even with a doctor's note. You only get 6 bad marks in a year then you get let go. There is a HIGH turnover rate in Cary due to the crazy rules and no trust in their employees with all these crazy rules. The company will NOT invest in new technology or tools.
