Pros

Don't work for such a crocked company

Cons

Have been with company for over 20 years then decide to close. No warning nothing no reason for the closure just someone's cost saving project. So sad how you displace so many honest working people. Not to mention management lied for over a year telling employees that we were the number 2 plant and always doing great
