Advice to Senior Management

Keep on mind that people is the most important value to any company in the world, with people you can success, without these nothing is possible.

Pros

Tons of job training and opportunity to advance. Tuition reimbursement should you decide to further your education. Great benefits and strong core values on safety and the environment. Opportunity to change departments, or even transfers to other states or countries. Proactive in getting feedback from employees to help improve the company. Most up to date and advanced equipment.

Cons

Being away from your home and your family. Missing out on holidays and events with your family. Being over worked and long hours without sleep or food. The longest stretch for me was eighty-seven hours straight with no sleep and over thirty- six hours without food. Depending on what department you are in, you can get stuck out on a location like stated above.

Advice to Senior Management

I would suggest that for some not all of management, they should have alittle more consideration for their subordinates. There are a few managers that hold back their employees and give them low grades on their PPR so the managers get higher bonuses. Also there are a few managers out there that will not purchase the needed equipment to make the job run more efficiently.

Pros

Upward mobility
Global Presence (and international opportunities)
Development opportunities

Cons

Long work hours
Bureaucratic environment
Matrix organization

Advice to Senior Management

Alignment of strategies globally and across functions (e.g. Supply Chain vs. Operations, Districts/regions vs. Corporate)
