Pros

Paid good and got good hours due to not having employees and easy work

Cons

Overworked all the time due to not having employees. Really poor management and poor communication skills. Can be a hostile work environment with some employees. Policies changed all the time to the point where it was inconvenient and last minute.

Pros

Salary - at least on the surface, until you realize that you are expected to carry the workload of 3-4 peoples worth. There are many people there who want to do the right thing, but just don't have the bandwidth. Production floor people were hard working and very knowledgeable.

Cons

Speaking strictly for the Chicopee site only. Senior management has comprehension issues. Feedback is ignored. You will be expected to carry the workload of several people's worth and when mistakes happen you will be the scapegoat. Training is non-existent. MRP system is antiquated 1970's-80's ERA... (BPCS). No investment in the building and or efforts to properly staff across the board. Place is a ghost town. Site director created hostile work environment. If anything was missed it was finger pointing and then eventually progressed to yelling and aggressive body language, rather than how do we solve this. Repeated requests for help (proper staffing and training) were ignored. Others in senior management do not know how to stay in their own lanes and worry about their depts. Will send you on wild goose chases based on what they think they know. No update will suffice. The land of "what about this though?" "Maybe we should revisit this?" MICRO MANAGED TO DEATH. No training but quick to criticize if something is not done or done the way they think it should be done... You will be in meetings 5-10 hours or more a week. 36% attrition rates... Whole purchasing dept (3 people) quit in 2022 alone within 3 months time prior to my arrival. I was the fourth to quit in 2022.

Pros

Great place to learn for lower ranks. However, becomes less so as you move into senior leadership given how little outside perspective exists despite years of company underperformance vs. market peers.

Cons

Lack of outside industry experience at the highest levels means consistent lack of innovation. Most senior leadership are promoted from within which perpetuates this issue. Leaders hired from outside the company for expertise tend to struggle and almost never last more than a couple of years. Lack of investment in internal systems and processes. Understood ROI on non customer facing systems and processes is challenging but bad data inevitably slows decision making.
