Pros

Pay is good if you sell your sole 7 days 12 hr shifts I guess. The company in a whole is great, do not start in Milan mi however. The facility has no responsibility in positions of real power pushing burdens down to the workers, making a feesable task impossible to stay on schedule. (With no beneficial reasons, purely lack of asserting themselves to create smoother operating)

Cons

However they assign individuals to plant management above supervision needs some brushing up on them SOP's. People with no regard to the task at hand or building a team. You could very well just be a number that one day they fire you without giving any reason after you've put in 7 day weeks 12 hour shifts for months. Simply because they can easily cover it up with no one to answer to, other than creating a bogus report and filing it away. I watched them uproot multiple people from their way of living for simply because they wanted to get rid of them to force someone into a position due to bids. To benefit someone else's ability to bid an open job... Terrible disregard for livelihood. You are disposable.

Pros

Talented and hardworking electricians, operators, mechanics, and plant personnel. Interesting automation and controls work with opportunities to solve challenging technical problems. Significant autonomy at the local level when responding to production issues. Good compensation and benefits. Corporate engineering resources are knowledgeable and generally willing to help.

Cons

Expectations and priorities frequently changed without corresponding adjustments to workload. Performance feedback lacked important operational context, such as competing priorities, project reassignment, and resource constraints. Communication tended to favor frequent meetings over clear written expectations. Accommodation requests and communication support were difficult to navigate and lacked a clear process. Single-engineer staffing model creates a challenging environment for vacations, medical appointments, training, and long-term sustainability. Heavy emphasis on immediate deliverables can make long-term engineering work and root-cause analysis difficult.
