Pros

People are great. Work gets done, but atmosphere can be relazed. Copmany still has family values. Found surprising number of fun activities in Tri-Cities. Work life balance. Kinsport site has 3 gyms at plant. Free convenient access. Possibility to try lots of jobs without moving.

Cons

Possibly pay, but life is super cheap in Kingsport. Most of discontent amount employees i found was in R&D, but exists in some other places. Might not have path to become next CEO from bottom. Who does?

Pros

Friendly, helpful colleagues. Vast variety of opportunities for engineers, especially younger ones. Actively supporting the communities where we live and work. Recent changes in management have restored positive outlook.

Cons

A lot of eggs are in the circular-economy basket rather than having the risk more evenly distributed among our product streams. We've lost a lot of talent recently to other businesses, partly because of unhappiness with former management but partly because of pay. Annual pay increases exist but have not even come close to keeping up with inflation.
