The compensation is on the low end for the amount of work that could be given to you. The company labels this as a "planner" position but they are part of the Manufacturing Engineering Serial Process Engineers. So the company will refrain from giving what most "engineer" starting positions are compared to larger cities. Workload seems to come in waves and can be a little overwhelming if you are not use to this type of environment. For this to be one of the "entry-level" positions for the white collar work, it feels mislabeled as many important decisions are made at this point, when there should be more input from other departments for manufacturing decisions instead of just one person making the call for changes and/or new processes. The position is named "planner" but their seems to be a lot of reacting to issues and less of the planning aspect. Some projects are planned and go relatively smoothly, others are reactive due to lack of communication with external departments, which leads to stress and postponing projects.
