Pros

I honestly cannot think of anything. I guess it would be that I got a paycheck, pay was decent, benefits we decent.

Cons

This is an organization that has simply gotten too large for itself. Employees are really just a number. There is no personal aspect at all and you certainly don't feel appreciated or needed. There is a large amount of turnover and changes (at least 3 per year) of senior management or direction so it is really hard to know your path and do your job. Growth is difficult as there is no conduit between management and employees for mentorship and no defined growth plans. This a very "meeting happy" organization. They love to have meetings....lots of them. Usually very inefficient and a waste of time. More managers than employees is a big reason for this.

Pros

- Exposure to large-scale manufacturing systems and cross-functional projects - Can build strong manufacturing and quality engineering experience quickly - Competitive pay and solid benefits for the area

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
