Pros

The coworkers are like family and the product is neat and has great uses. The CEO is also nice, however. ....

Cons

He is being taken advantage of being deceived by upper managment. Id be shocked if he even knew about this site, and if it wasnt being hidden from him. Cindy is very power hungry and is hurting the business in everyway. She is literally counting down the days until the owner dies and she can take over. In general there is a huge disconnect between normal workers and management. Upper managment is very deceptive and will do anything to make themselves look better... even post bogus 5 star reviews on glass door, or have other coworkers do it for them. Management will talk behind workers backs and complain but never give workers a chance to fix problems or to even know something is wrong. You are always secretly being tested and will be fired at a moments notice. They recently let go over 30 people, most long time employees, but not before having those employees train replacements to take their spot at a lower pay rate. Pay rate is a joke with most places even 20 min away offering almost twice as much salary for the same job. Many employees have taken notice and several are tired of the toxic environment and are currently in the process of interviewing elsewhere. Only way you can make even remotely decent money is if you work overtime, which if you are on the floor, will be every Saturday plus 10 hr days. Opinions and concerns go unnoticed. People are let go weekly just because sales are currently way down. But don't worry, there is always the company breakfast consisting of low grade microwave quality selections, to look forward to as your yearly "bonus".

Pros

The pros for working at 80 20 are present but are not fully utilized. You get paid time off decent insurance and plenty of volunteer overtime.

Cons

The cons are very present. Starting off you get tons of mandatory overtime. The culture at the location is a problem. If you don't work the overtime there are employees who will make fun of you and be rude. If you work the overtime the same thing occurs. Now you might think this is hazing but no it's worse. They lie to management about you in attempts to get you fired. On another note management refuses to fire people unless it's attendance based. No names but there is an employee that cut 8 tape measures in half and put there hand near a operating saw in an attempt to make others do his work... and it worked management hasn't fired him but they will fire loyal employees who do there work. Finally floor management is a joke. The employees constantly have to correct / educate floor management on guidelines and policies. Additionally your team lead will hardly be present and will instead be in other departments that they dont work in just talking to people. Also good luck moving positions. They won't let you unless it's in the same department and even then it's rare they let you.
