      Pros

      The people who suffer with you

      Cons

      Since NCI and plygem merged to become Cornerstone Building Brands the engineering department has gone downhill. They micromanage and overwork employees. The old leadership at my division quit and so have many of the 10+ year employees, since these changes started happening. The average engineer here now has 3-4years of experience instead of the 10+ years now. They removed bonuses for all employees two years ago despite boasting increased profits every year. They have not been giving raises to keep up with inflation either. It's become an all take and no give relationship. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the positive reviews here are made by the management to make themselves look better.

      Pros

      Work from home is the best one!

      Cons

      Not many, other than it’s a corporate setting so decisions get made slowly. Including decisions that might improve work.

      Pros

      Solid Corporate Blueprint: The high-level organization has an excellent strategic framework. Corporate-led continuous improvement initiatives, modern operator training systems, and matrix reporting structures demonstrate a commitment to long-term operational excellence. Infrastructure: The manufacturing assets, MES software setup, and technical scope of work provide a great environment for data-driven engineering and process optimization. Benefits: Compensation, day-one medical benefits, and corporate-level resources are competitive for the regional market.

      Cons

      Culture of Compliance: The facility culture prioritizes absolute personal compliance over objective operational excellence. Constructive feedback or process critiques are routinely penalized or labeled as "attitude problems," stalling genuine quality progression. High Indirect Turnover: This management-by-coercion style has dismantled workplace psychological safety, leading to ongoing administrative volatility and high turnover among supervisory and technical staff.
