Vantaggi
Employees are friendly though disheartened by overall treatment by supervisors, management, owners
Svantaggi
Employee turnover/lack of retention due to low starting wage-coompensation, no "merit" increases, no advancement. Benefit package cost increased, substantial cut to employee time off (vacation, sick leave), seems to be a 2 tier company - the haves (mgmt) and the have nots (hourly employees). Not an employee oriented company at all. They've become more of a disappointment with each new owner. Most manufacturing departments have mandatory overtime especially around the holidays, then pay employees regular hourly pay instead some sort of overtime. Management at the local level all the way up to the CEO just don't get that there's a problem.
