Pros
- The work is very engaging. - Pay is decent (could be much better). - tooling purchases are typically approved with little issue.
Cons
- uninformed / underqualified management team - no real engagement from upper management. - recurring legal battle for any momentum in union contract terms every 4 years - profit sharing has been reworked multiple times to move the bar away from granting returns to employees. - impressive profits, but much of it is funneled to the sister company / not reinvested properly in equipment. - old facility that does not have headroom for power / air. - not climate-controlled despite having work that is required to be done in a climate controlled environment. - generally outdated ways of thinking, both in the business administration and personnel management.
