Pros

- Ethics, diversity, respect and integrity - Great opportunity to learn and innovate - Profit sharing and employee benefits pretty good - Company future seems secure due to presence in foreign markets

Cons

- Long term goals of company not very well defined - Cost conservative and cuts down budgets unnecessarily - Location not ideal for single people, but probably good for raising a family. Socio-economic status of Columbus, IN not great yet cost of living 5-10% more than Indy. - Management techniques vary drastically from manager to manager and group to group. Lack of uniformity limits opportunity and a desire to rotate across company.

Pros

You get paid for doing OT on weekends at the plant I work at now If you are in a shift that has less staffing you might earn more money on weekends as you will not have anyone to rotate with or less people to rotate with I am happy to have a manager who understands I have a lot of work pressure

Cons

If you are in a shift that has less staffing you will have a lot of work to do. For me the con is lots of work pressure in the shift I work. I think I do the work of atleast 2 people and sometimes even more. First shift will have people to rotate on weekends. Unfortunately 2nd shift doesn't have people to rotate with. We end up working every weekend but have same number of vacation days. People in 2nd can get there vacation days used up before other shifts. But still I would say its a good company considering I work in a manufacturing facility.
