Vantaggi

Very good balance of life and work. Great benefits and easy to schedule time off when needed. Great place to learn LEAN manufacturing, SAP, 5S, and active Continuous Improvement.

Svantaggi

Section managers work based off their own personal agenda's. Very low pay for the assemblers. Performance based pay is based off the whole plant including the temp workers who receive no bonus(and thus no motivation other than getting by on minimal input). Wages were at $17hr but were reduced (only assemblers took a pay reduction NOT management) to $12hr with a very slow progression up to 14.50$

Vantaggi

Good health insurance and benefits, good yearly bonuses. The pay is good.

Svantaggi

They are enforcing returning to office by any means necessary. They have lost many high-quality producers who have refused to relocate or refuse to come in. Here's the kicker - they are requiring in-person attendance at the Chicago office and there aren't even enough desks for everyone. It would be a literal fire hazard if we all came into the Chicago office at the same time, M-F, during business hours. No one knows how or if they are going to actually enforce this. Cost of gas is insane, Joe doesn't care about the workers. Or the work for that matter. It's obvious this is a soft layoff, they have made a bunch of people quit. Their internal design agency is falling apart, lots of people have quit, not only because of return to office but because of the toxic politics, favoritism, and lack of direction and accountability. Mediocre workers are allowed to keep their jobs ONLY because of their ability to put their bodies in a chair and work in-person. The other relocation option HR gave besides Chicago was Peoria. No one wants to live in Peoria for any reason whatsoever, be for real.
