Vantaggi

Steady paycheck. Decent benefits. Good diversity. Many people are exceptionally skilled at what they do. Some really good middle-level managers.

Svantaggi

Has gone downhill since I've started here. This company has good roots, but over the past couple of years it has taken a lot of mental gymnastics to keep up with all of the changes in upper management. There's been high turnover rates in plant operations, mass department layoffs and "consolidations" that leaves many feeling insecure. Most are required to shoulder the work of many roles for no increase in pay. The now skeletonized staffing also appears to affect safety culture in a negative way.

Vantaggi

Honestly, at the risk of sounding harsh—there isn’t a single positive I can point to. Over a 20-year career across multiple employers, this was easily the worst experience I’ve had. They draw you in with a strong salary, then expect unsustainable output—60-hour weeks were the norm, and weekend work was common despite being an M–F role.

Svantaggi

Leadership is, bluntly, a failure. Many don’t seem to know how to lead—and the ones who do don’t last. In a single year, I watched five senior leaders get abruptly pushed out with no warning or explanation. Operationally, it’s just as bad. Production lines are poorly maintained, uptime is unreliable, and the approach is constant patchwork—quick fixes instead of real solutions. Meanwhile, they’re expanding into new plants without a clear plan to transition or utilize capacity effectively. There’s no forward thinking. Leadership has stripped the company down to the bare minimum in both people and resources. When concerns were raised in town halls, they were typically dismissed or minimized. I was thrown in with little to no training. When my counterpart left, and I had two weeks to absorb their role on top of my own. I carried both jobs for several months until an internal backfill was found—pure luck, and only after my manager fought through a hiring freeze. Once that role was filled, the workload didn’t ease—they added more. There was no real ability to log off or disconnect. It was constant, unsustainable pressure. The culture makes it worse. There’s a lack of diversity and a clear absence of support. People look out for themselves—throwing others under the bus without hesitation. It is very much an “every man for themselves” culture. I would not recommend this company. I feel for the people still there. I’m glad I left—run, don’t walk.
