Pros

Easy jobs nothing difficult... Warm body employment

Cons

Totally mismanaged. Hasn't made a profit in almost 30 years. Always changing shift schedules. Lots of down time because no one has a clue of what is going on as things constantly fail test or the parts are defective. They constantly shuffle people around because they are always doing damage control. Lots of throwing people under the bus. No real support from management. Interview style and yearly reviews they go into with the mindset of finding every reason not to hire and not to give raises/ quarterly bonuses. Also they hire temp's saying it's temp to perm but review to become perm is a mindset of finding every reason not to make the temp a permanent employee. They just don't give a care about the employees especially if they are not on A shift. Also 401k match is with their stock that is absolutely worthless. Training is an absolute joke. HR is definitely pro employer so any issues and employee brings to HR puts that employee on the radar to be fired. Also it's word of mouth for hires and raises. There's no performance matrix based raises. So you can be a hard worker but if you don't make management notice it goes unnoticed. It's just a very highschool clique kind of environment with management. Which management will throw crew leads under the bus to cover their butt's Also they fudge the numbers in testing because they know it will fail and if it fails in the field they have maintenance contracts which is what they want money made from. So lots of reworks come back as well as remanufacturing work. They hype green Hydrogen and being end to end. Yet they can't even keep enough hydrogen at the plant to keep the hydrogen forklift and pallet jack running.
