Pros

Federal Holidays are mostly covered by the company. Coworkers are fun and make work enjoyable.

Cons

Plant manager only cares about numbers. He doesn’t care if there is 8 inches of snow is on the ground and it’s still coming down. He also started mandated PTO usage during the two weeks of shut down. Maybe it’s normal however the other manufacturing companies that I know during the two weeks of shutdown they cover it or they make you use 5 days instead of 10 to cover the entirety of the two weeks of shutdown. Safety is questionable.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
