Avantages
The hourly employees are amazing, and most are willing to go above and beyond for the company and their supervisor. Most supervisors are really good people who are interested in helping the company succeed.
Inconvénients
If you are an "outsider" (meaning you did not "grow up" at Frymaster), it will be hard to go far. Most of management has worked there their entire lives and don't want to hear that there are better ways to do things. It is also a boys' club, and women are not treated fairly, promoted regularly, or valued. Lastly, HR does not apply policies fairly or consistently. If an employee who is a discipline problem is a "manager's pet," they will use every excuse in the book to keep them, but any good employee who breaks the rules once or twice is run off as quickly as possible. When this company was no longer locally-owned, it lost its value to the community. I would be shocked if it's still here in 10 years.
