Pros

There are no pros to apply to this company.

Cons

Only had one performance review during the three yrs. and nine months employed there. They talk about The "Guiding Principles" of the company, but leadership never practiced these principles. During my time there, never saw RRE's from the plant managers. So how do you know what the direction of the plant is going in.......did I mentioned that I had 7 plant managers during my employment. Turnover at this location among hourly and salary 30%....that's right!

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.
