Pros
Good insurance, but if the owner of the company gets his way that will change, if they don't close down the location I worked at first.(Williams White and Co in Moline, illinois)
Cons
Horrible shop owner
Horrible office staff
Absolutely atrocious shop foreman who will go out of his way to cut you down.
No worthwhile training whatsoever.
Very discombobulated, no real pattern
Frequent layoffs
Unruly co workers
Heavy favoritism
Union is junk
They short cut almost everything they can in hopes to make deadlines and usually it results in missed deadlines and bad parts.
Do yourself a favor and just apply elsewhere.
