At one time was a good family owned business where they took care of the little guy because that's what made on the big money it is Kellogg's closed and fell apart sweitzers closed down and fell apart they're still open but they don't take care of their employees especially their painting division most all of the Union painters only work for them and they're laid off most of time because they don't care about the little guy
