Business outlook
Pros
Seemed a great opportunity at the start. Was offered a manager role at excellent pay. Responsibilities grew rapidly and plenty of room for improvement.
Cons
Pay was excellent but benefits were weak. No work-life balance, expect long hours. Each plant is its own entity and competes with other plants for customers so no sharing of best practices. 2017 expectations from 1940s processes and equipment. Lack of training, you are just expected to know or "get creative." Constant pressure to achieve targets or you won't be around. Group manager is expected to be all things; manager, floor supervisor, materials coordinator, scheduler, backup operator, quality control, order validation and shipping coordinator.
