Pros
Interesting industry. Able to gain experience on different types of machinery. It's nice when you can help someone complete a project or to know that you had a hand in building something.
Cons
Management is very disconnected from what actually goes on in house. Most have been there for years and feel that they've "earned" the luxury of being able to do very little work. It seems as if the only time change happens is when something goes negatively for management. After a few weeks though it's all back to normal. There is definite favoritism when it comes to the sales reps who get to just push orders through and everyone else has to figure out how to make it work even if there's no possible way it can. If there's ever a problem the first response is to find someone to blame as opposed to taking care of the issue first. It's as if we're not on the same team.
