Pros

There are a few good people in this company.

Cons

If you’re not white or an older man you will be overlooked. If you’re a woman forget it, walk out the door! If you enjoy being degraded, ignored, given no direction and yelled at by management then this is the place for you. I once had a manager assign a task, he was unreachable while travelling but demanded the project be done. I had to find my own resources and finished the job. When the project was completed and a success I was talked to by my manager in front of a circle of male managers. I was yelled at for making waves, In other words going around him to find my answers. None of those male managers stood up for me and just let the manager degrade me. I reached out to HR and nothing was done. In the end it was better to leave.

Pros

The compensation is fair compared to similar jobs in the area. They have made improvements to the facilities including implementing 5S and Six Sigma projects.

Cons

This site used to be a privately owned operation with a majority of the work force being employed there from ten to twenty plus years. It was sold to AAR Corp who left the structure as it was for the first year as is typical. Then the changes started, first to go were the President and VP ( not there choice ). Then the general manager left and took a large number of the experienced employees with him to his current employer. There have been several lay offs that took out most of the remaining employees with any seniority and they have thinned the work force on the floor to a point where they must operate two or three machines at a time. The replacement managers and engineers are usually hired at a higher pay rate than the people they replaced and most come from an automotive back ground, we see how they benefited the auto industry! The VP of operations is no exception, he is honestly one of the most arrogant people I have ever worked for. He has made numerous changes that leave you scratching your head and seems in constant conflict with those under him.
