Pros

Extremely professional training and support. Best company I've worked at, honestly. Co-workers were phenomenal (except for Karen, but you know how she is...). Pay and benefits were excellent. Management seemed genuinely interested in helping everyone do a great job/be successful.

Cons

This is just me, so take it with a grain of salt. I had (have) some very fundamental opposition to the politics of the owner. I do not believe "the tragedy of the commons" is an ongoing issue. I really do believe we can hold some things in common through government. Roads, education, national parks (heck, state and county parks, too, and city parks). The owner's politics are so intimately entwined with the company's management theory, I found it impossible.

Pros

Talented and hardworking electricians, operators, mechanics, and plant personnel. Interesting automation and controls work with opportunities to solve challenging technical problems. Significant autonomy at the local level when responding to production issues. Good compensation and benefits. Corporate engineering resources are knowledgeable and generally willing to help.

Cons

Expectations and priorities frequently changed without corresponding adjustments to workload. Performance feedback lacked important operational context, such as competing priorities, project reassignment, and resource constraints. Communication tended to favor frequent meetings over clear written expectations. Accommodation requests and communication support were difficult to navigate and lacked a clear process. Single-engineer staffing model creates a challenging environment for vacations, medical appointments, training, and long-term sustainability. Heavy emphasis on immediate deliverables can make long-term engineering work and root-cause analysis difficult.
