Vantaggi
Not many. There are some good people there, despite the terrible culture. The work is steady. Somehow, they are staying in business, despite making zero facility improvements and investing nothing into their employees.
Svantaggi
If you're in management, count on working 55 hours a week or more, regardless of how much you actually have on your plate. Anything less than 55 is considered leaving early. You'll need to be in most Saturdays. Again, this is not in relation to how busy you are - you just need to be there. The schedule is 7 to 5:30. Need to leave at 5:20? You better ask for permission. Really. You can probably get a fair starting wage. It won't ever change, though. There are people there that haven't gotten a raise for 10 years. And it doesn't really matter how well you're performing. Finger-pointing and call-out culture is encouraged. Count on your fellow employees to wait until a meeting to point out where you may have missed the mark. Management turnover is very high. No materials manager. No quality manager will stay. The long term management team are embittered and angry. I think they'd leave too, if they thought someone else would hire them. Somebody would, but it's all they know. Kind of sad. Facilities are so embarrassing that they don't even have customers come to the Michigan sites. DIRTY. The walls have a half inch of filth on them. There's no budget for building improvements. PM's don't happen. Machines are from the 90's. There are very, very few machinists. They hire laborers and give them machinist duties, though. So, if you want to be trained as a CNC operator, kiss your family good bye and work the 12 hours a day, 6 or 7 days a week that will be required of you. I've heard blatantly racist statements from one of the supervisors. I've heard blatantly racist statements from one of the owners.
