Pros

The intresting and different problems that are encountered on a daily basis, and being in a secluded nature filled location. The production employees were great to work with. Different types of systems were abound and created great challenge.

Cons

Cliquish environment, slow to accept change and management would not support management staff when issues appeared during implementation. You are on your own. Confining and over complicated improvement system that is choking everyone.
