Pros
Less stress now in the production or assembly positions than office staff
If you have a tough exterior and can leave each day without caring, this is the place for you presently. There is plenty of room for growth and to lead programs, people back on track.
Cons
Management is now completely incompetent since original company was sold multiple times
Union protection virtually non existent and pay scale in all areas drastically cut
People left standing inherited jobs they have no skills to handle
Profitable products were raided with each sale and now gone. Customer base is constantly disappointed.
Good, competent folks saw the writing on the wall and fled the company. Many retired if they could. Leadership lacking in program mgmt, customer service and sales. Delivery of products and promises to customer was always late.
