Business outlook
Pros
Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable co-workers Excellent supervisors who provide as much information, support, and problem resolution as they can Safe and clean work environment (within reason - it's a manufacturing facility, so some hazards and detritus from processes to be expected) 4-on/4-off 12-hr work schedule for floor employees
Cons
No sense of job security due to history of layoffs, closing of US plants, and opening of facilities in cheaper labor markets (i.e. China and India) As in most companies today, the pervasive impression that next quarter's profits for investors, and officer's salaries/bonuses, are paramount, despite (or perhaps as a result of) assertions to the contrary
