Pros

Competitive pay is the best thing about RO, but at some point, even the pay isn't worth it.

Cons

Poor management. Corporate is disconnected from the realities of the plant and undermines the efforts of manufacturing to deliver product to the customer. The company gives lip service to creating a great work environment, continuous improvement, safety and use of best practices. However, when the rubber meets the road, profits are 'king' and teamwork is thrown out the window in favor of shifting blame to someone else.
