Pros

Salary paid on time each month

Cons

- Highly political environment. It doesn't matter how hard and how much you are working, you are getting promoted only if you are friend with the management; - Backstabbing office culture: you need to be aware of everything you say, because it can be used against you. Even managers are talking behind the back of their employees with other people, even in the same team. - Bad internal HR, not transparent, not efficient (it delivers contracts and other information always later than they are due) and which doesn't care about employees' concerns; - Useless trainings that will teach you nothing about the job or anything else - No control on the process, even if you have improvements that can make everybody's life easier. You just have to do what you are told.

Cons

Work-life balance can be inconsistent depending on department and production demands * Advancement opportunities may feel limited without moving into management or relocating * Communication and management consistency can vary between shifts/departments * Production pressure and changing priorities can create stress in quality-related roles * Some roles may require overtime or schedule flexibility that can be difficult for employees with family responsibilities * Recognition for process improvements and extra responsibilities may not always match workload expectations * Culture can feel more production-focused than employee-focused at times
