Pros

Opportunity to cover a lot of ground due to insufficent staffing. Some very tallented coworkers at the plant level. Can make your mark if you are prepared to sacrifice work life balance and some ethics.

Cons

Where to begin... no training or onboarding. Poor salaries and incentives you`ll never see. No retirement match. Layoffs and restructures impacting everyone. No loyalty to employees from senior management. Brain drain of layoffs, early retirements, and resignations have seriously eroded the organization leading to costly mistakes and loss of corporate knowledge. There are so many good opportunities out there, why settle for this sort of environment?
