Pros

It's a white collar job and the job market is tough so I'm staying until I find something better.

Cons

Where to start? Managment is dysfunctional, ( they and openly talk about only reason they are staying is to have their equity vest then leave), they continue to do business in Russia (but will do everything they can to hide that fact), they refuse to provide adequate resources to do one's job well (but will work you to the bone) and provide conflicting guidance at every turn.

Pros

- Well known brand - Good people to work with - When allowed freedom, work is enjoyable

Cons

- New management every year with new direction causing concerns with key customers - Global management only cares about stock price at any cost (to an extreme level) - North American management has no experience or appreciation of commercial side of business - Don’t expect your voice to be heard, regardless of the facts behind it

Pros

Good people to work with on the lower levels. Ok benefits.

Cons

Pay is below average, facility is dirty, and no airflow, large amounts of dust. There is large amounts of nepotism amoungst managment. There is little or no oversight on them, and they do as they please. Profits are the only portion they care about, products are bad and getting worse, no room for advancement, no proper training, no proper maintenance, minimal tool supply, minimal support in projects. Pretty sure there isn't much of a point to work here other than between other jobs, as a get by solution. Do not be friends with management, they will falsify paperwork and documentation to railroad you and HR is in there pocket, So don't even bother. You will be targeted and you will be slanndered and no one will protect you. Unless you just submit to them and do as they want, without questioning any morals or application of authority. They over reach allot!! Doing what is right will get you terminated.
