Pros

- The people are excellent. You will never feel like someone will backstab you, and everyone is eager to lend a hand. - There is a lot of established Lean/6 Sigma manufacturing in a massive facility; gives great experience to model for manufacturing excellence. - If you're smart and capable it will be recognized (not outwardly though) and management will not hesitate to throw the big important projects at you.

Cons

- The pay is on the lower end of industry standards. On top of this, addition of pay is slow (~3%/year) and there are no bonuses. That is until you reach the higher tiers of ranking, they get a lot of bonuses. - The advancement opportunities within the Marion site is non-existent, at least within the quality department. Expect to need to leave the company, or transfer to another site for advancement in career and any significant increase to pay. - Upper management got their through brown-nosing, and as such expect to be brown nosed. - As an engineer, the innovation, design, and critical thinking during projects and day to day work was extremely lacking. Most of the job was pushing paper around to accomplish simple menial tasks. - Almost no feedback to employees, ever. On that same note, almost no request for improvement opportunities from management.
