      Bay City Site

      Pros

      They feed you a lot and plan some decent employee events.

      Cons

      Company may be good to work for at other locations but the Bay City site is a mess. Nepotism, favoritism, cronyism, you name it. If you know someone who works there you'll move up. It's not about how good you are at your job, it's about who you know. If you work in production and can get OT there's A LOT of money to be made. Outside of that this place is horrible. High deductible insurance. Poor management. Cost cutting that leads to understaffing and safety issues. Would not recommend them as an employer, ever.

      Attempting to make change with no clear direction or plan

      Pros

      Cash flow is solid, so paychecks come regularly. The company culture (a Family Company) was quite valuable. I'm not sure how much longer that will be around.

      Cons

      Far too many changes (hires from the outside) within management (and executives) the past few years. Each new person wants to leave his/her mark by instituting change. Unfortunately, all the various changes are left unchecked and do not mesh well with other functions. This leaves problems and issues throughout the entire organization.

      Lack of Integrity

      Pros

      Solid brands, international presence, some nice people to work with. Family ownership desires to do good in the world. Not as short term focused as public company.

      Cons

      Senior leadership. Zero empowerment as all decisions made at the senior management level. Lack of ownership for those decisions when failures occur. Makes promises when recruiting employees that it has no intention of honoring. Compensation structure not competitive.

      We appreciate that you took time to share your thoughts. We want to be the kind of place where people can make a real and significant impact, and empowerment is an important part of that. Getting great cross-functional processes in place is key and it’s something we’ve been working on. We’re sorry you didn’t see that in action, but we’re optimistic about great opportunities ahead.
