Business Outlook

Pros

Good people and interesting business model

Cons

My boss was not a leader and viewed everything as a political move. Micromanaged without ever describing the big picture. Misrepresented the job during the interview process. Was eager to share how much value they added to the company, and how great they were at performing their job, but always had unkind words to say about nearly everyone at the plant.
