Pros

Honestly, I enjoyed my time at FGF and keep in touch with a number of former employees whether in the office or on the plant floor. Coming out of school it was a fast paced and fun office experience with great potential.. The owners are great and have the right attitude. Lots of focus on personal development.

Cons

There is a huge disconnect between the middle management and the employees. Also, yelling and screaming demands does not help any situation. When I was there, I barely saw my actual management and most was governed by abusive plant managers. Turnover rate is high in the office, let alone on the floor. Many of which are let go without reason or explanation.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Flexible hybrid work.

Cons

Constant layoffs. I was laid off 7 months after starting, while on a business trip in a Kroger parking lot, with no explanation given. Layoff process was pathetic, no communication and had to threaten a lawyer to receive my severance payout. American politics are often discussed by Canadian upper management. Foul, unprofessional language is frequently used. Very unprofessional, unstable work environment. I would recommend looking anywhere else for employment.
