Pros
Its a good place if you are looking to retire and not change, baby-boomer friendly. Decent benefits. Off the production floor there are good people trying to make a difference and working to steer the company towards a better position in the market. The FDA hasn't shut us down like our competition. The staff is almost to the tipping point were the old are being out numbered by the new.
Cons
483's from the FDA... lots of them. High turn-over in departments that are crucial for driving continuous improvement. Old products that are poorly designed, assembled on equipment that is falling apart by a work force that is over 20% temporary workers that make a little bit more than McDonalds. Leadership that has to higher outside firms to drive change and develop leadership. A strong-willed work force that doesn't care about change. Uneducated lower to middle management. A CEO that pushes political agendas through company emails, vote against this or for that... contact your local rep via this link...
