Pros

Extremely focused on safety, both in the office space and factory.

Cons

Consistently get it wrong when attempting to understand why their business is performing poorly. They are hyper focused on the short term numbers, and have no long term strategy. Constantly eliminating potions to meet the numbers - damaging those that remain.

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
