Pros
Significant variety of work, and anyone can have a go! Overwhelming demand for product from customers, despite terrible reputation for missing deadlines.
Cons
The Highlights - Company Wide: - Significantly high turnover of staff, both office and factory based. - Office staff have restricted access to the internet, because management fears hacking of company IP. - No remote working allowed for same reason as above. - the MRP system is custom made, difficult to work with, and has no integration to modern software programs. - Everything is run from MS-Excel, from engineering calculations to production schedules, with no will from management to pay for or use modern production software. - No use of productivity tools due to internet restrictions. The Highlights - Magnet Division: - Main experience & expertise base has either left, retired or looking to leave. - The design and most of the engineering departments are being completely mismanaged, by managers that either don't care for employees, have no will to fight on, or have left for better things. - Payrises past inflation is rare, compensation for adding capabilities through self training is even rarer, and even help towards the right to work is not guaranteed. - A director who will use and abuse everyone under him, past breaking point, until he's got what he needs from them. Without thanks, congratulations, or even a pay rise. He will bring down the division! The Highlights - Gradient Division: Same as above, but doing slightly better!
