Pros

+ Steady work at least in the unit I'm working in. + Flexible working hours and remote work possible.

Cons

- Salary increase does not happen. - When you are good at what you do, salary does not increase and your career does not advance even when you gain more skills from training and experience. - Too much work due to poor resource planning. Should I stay in a nice and steady job with low pay or take the risk and work somewhere else?

Cons

Work-life balance can be inconsistent depending on department and production demands * Advancement opportunities may feel limited without moving into management or relocating * Communication and management consistency can vary between shifts/departments * Production pressure and changing priorities can create stress in quality-related roles * Some roles may require overtime or schedule flexibility that can be difficult for employees with family responsibilities * Recognition for process improvements and extra responsibilities may not always match workload expectations * Culture can feel more production-focused than employee-focused at times
