Pros
Great innovative staff that works extremely hard to improve and grow. Manufacturing has greatly improved in the year I was there. They are really making an effort to make better processing choices. Genuinely seem to care about the well being of their staff personally for the most part. Production staff is fantastic, some of the hardest working people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Plant manager really is trying to make changes and it shows; definitely moving in a positive direction there. A lot of young and talented engineers that need mentors that can show them the right way. Great opportunities for training available.
Cons
Management style is autocratic and there is a bit of micromanaging... which may be ok for some people but it was not something I was use to or respond well to. Unilateral decision making is demotivating to staff members... Criticism of current project management procedures and SOPs is not well received. Hard working individuals not given the respect they deserve but that is in line with the directive autocratic management method that abounds in engineering and in other departments. I've noticed that some of the more "colorful" previous reviews have been removed.. not surprised considering how well criticism is taken there. Working conditions are sub par... no frills and getting basic needs fulfilled is challenging. Benefits need a great improvement, not even remotely competitive with today's market.
