Pros

Good pay, (most) coworkers have patience to train you, lots of benefits (paid gym membership, small discounts to many stores, great insurance, tuition reimbursement). Able to apply for a higher position (but based on seniority to get it).

Cons

You get told that the company's number one priority is safety, but sometimes it's obvious that production is more important. In the factory that i work, there is no air conditioning. Be prepared for very, very hot summers while working about 60 hours a week. I go to school full time, but no flexibility in my work schedule; you will have to fit schooling around your job.

Survey Indicates Lower Performers Rate Their Companies as Great Paces to Work

Pros

Leadership IQ surveyed workers and found those with lower performance rated their employers as a great place to work. Looking at the ratings for Cooper, this explains the positive ratings

Cons

Cooper management puts a lot of work on high performers and lets the low performers off the hook. No wonder the lower performers are happy. You can exceed expectations for awhile and receive recognition (which always brings more work), but you eventually get fed up and question why you're so stressed out and don't have a life outside of Cooper, then you can either burn out, decide to leave on your own or stay and try to bring some balance into your life (management frowns on this). This can result in being put on the "blocker" list which isn't a good thing and almost assures that you will get pushed toward the door.

Pros

Great pay and benefits Stable company Looks great on your resume

Cons

Work life balance only exists for the week after another employee resigns Employee satisfaction scores are low Management aware of employee DIS-satisfaction for 3 years-no improvements made Hierarchy management structure Employee resignations are written off as employee's inability to manage workload vs. management's inability to support employee's needs
