Vantaggi
Suncast continues to do well in a down economy and industry. Medical benefits are excellent. Co-workers are generally good to work with.
Svantaggi
Too much favoritism. If you are a "pet" of the Mfg VP, you are golden, can do no wrong. Otherwise, watch your back every day. Management supports and encourages backstabbing, undermining others, selfish behavior. Every day you have to wonder about people's ulterior motives. There is a real lack of communication from the top down. "Suncast knows best" just do what we say, don't ask any serious questions. Upper management tolerates mediocrity if you have been there long enough, which discourages newcomers or people who really are motivated to try, til they see there is no point, since it doesn't matter what you do, but how well you are liked by the right people. Any improvements are superficial. If you try to suggest real improvements or changes, you are ignored until you go away. Best to ignore people who try to rock the boat with ideas. Lack of focus on any substantial goals. Every week it's a different plan based on whatever is the current flavor of the day.
