Vantaggi
They are completely dedicated to their employees, from hourly temps all the way up through management everyone is treated like an equal. The non-monetary compensation and benefits offered are second to none. The company has a commitment to growth. The products we produce are recession resistant. It seems like the company has truly embraced continuous improvement and are always striving to do everything better. Creative and technical input is accepted and encouraged regardless of your job classification or how many years you’ve had at the company. The human resources department is also extremely helpful in relocation assistance. In closing while it is a public company it feels like working for family.
Svantaggi
The real downside to the company is that you truly invest yourself in your work so that you can work 50+ hrs a week and not even realize it. The downside is that not every salaried employee qualifies for overtime. The working conditions are also a question mark. It is a converted steel mill and the nature of the product produced is messy. To say the least it isn’t for everyone. As my boss told me when I interviewed, expect to get your hands dirty from time to time.
