Pros
Great co-workers, many who go above and beyond each day and genuinely care about the company despite the horrible management and low morale and pay.
Kontras
"Management", and I use the term very loosely - is just the father (CEO) and son (VP). While the CEO is pretty fair in all honestly and is a "people person", its the son (VP) who is the main root of the majority of issues. Constant cursing at his father, at other employees, ignoring employees and sales reps, ignoring customer issues - this is just a very small picture of the vice president of the company, the same person who will be giving you quarterly performance reviews and determine what your pay rate will be. Raises are very few and far in between, and a "promotion" will not come with any such raise. Nearly every position is a dead end and there is no real room for growth. You will be asked to work harder and do more without any increases in compensation or even appreciation. Management is very disorganized and generally has a nonchalant attitude about order deadlines and issues - and only show any true concern if it is a customer that they care about. Majority of orders are severely behind schedule and due to their poor scheduling nothing gets out on time; the sales reps deal with lots of customer anger and issue, to which the VP will ignore. Everything is blamed on the production employee (you). The final part of the problem is that this old school small business is trying to run it as a corporate structure with irrelevant job titles, performance reviews, unnecessary meetings and agendas - which all just adds to the pressures and low morale for everyone else. Hold out for any other job position, you will be treated much more better almost anywhere else!
