Pros

Not many some good people there but overall most only there to get money to pay the bills as there are not a lot of jobs around.

Cons

Terrible place to work the place is run like a dictatorship where the workforce have to do as they are told or are threatened with the sack. Morale on the shop floor has been terrible for years but basically the management don't care as most have been there for years some straight from school with no other experience and zero man management skills. Also a lot of nepotism with people in positions not because of their skills but only because of who they are. I am glad I no longer work there my only regret is I spent so many years there when I could have moved elsewhere.

Pros

Fantastic benefits and great culture. Pay is decent and in line with responsibilities

Cons

As corporate as corporate can be. At one point they actually had TPS reports ( Office Space reference ). Such a large company that it is certainly not nimble to changing markets.
