Pros

Good pay, not great but can be supplemented with OT if you're a go-getter; management is not the "hammer down" type that I have been a part of in a previous employments; I like most of my coworkers.

Cons

If other coworkers don't pull their weight, it makes more work for others; wish management would apply consequences for those workers and cull those just riding the clock; long hours (12 hour rotating shifts) so doesn't leave much free time from one work day to the next, but I do enjoy the DuPont schedule that gives you 2-4 days off between work days (and one 7 day stretch being off each month); insurance is good and much cheaper than my two previous employers.

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.
