Pros

Close to home. 75% of the time I enjoy my job. I work with a lot of great people.

Cons

Point system for absence; 6 in 6 months. 3 days of for illness and you have to fill out leave papers. Not family friendly since Mr. Sam passed away. Fully vested profits are a joke; I've lost more money to it than I've made.

Pros

Good stable company especially in the current economic environment. Provides better that average pay for the industry for the position I have.

Cons

Too many shifts at the top and none of them care about anyone underneath. Once upon a time this company actually cared about their people and now it is all about the dollar. Have you noticed that the name badges no longer say "our people make the difference"? My boss often reminds that I'm I am getting paid "very well" to do my job. They don't realize that money isn't the only factor in a job and in the long run is relatively a small part in job satisfaction.

Pros

3 days on and 3 days off provides much m ore time for family. Lots of opportunities for promotions

Cons

The company is no longer the family business it once was. It is all about the stock price. Managment has lost the leverage to solve problems and issues on their mown. Every thing is about exectuion. " Execute the program or I will replace you with some who will" is the motto
