Pros

Good pay & benefits (because we are union). We finally have a safety manager that cares about the safety of her workforce.

Cons

Terrible management. It is difficult for me to keep a good relationship with customers when Akima won’t order parts for repairs. I feel confident that Akima will loose this contract if they don’t get the purchasing and procurement running properly.
