Pros

Having a hard time coming up with any positives at this point, other than co-workers. Colleagues are really pulling together at this point, out of necessity.

Cons

Lack of communication and transparency in future plans. People being laid off for the past several months have reduced staff to the point where getting things done is painful. Many nice perks that were given in the past have disappeared. Compensation has been cut by 23% over the past year. Building facilities are embarrassing.

Pros

My immediate supervisors were great. My teams were amazing. Even the temporary staff we hired for the season were usually pretty awesome. 11 paid holidays. 3 weeks vacation after 5 years... A week PTO .. that's 31 work days as paid time off! And if you schedule it right during holidays you could be off for 3 weeks and only use a week vacation 😂

Cons

Upper Management took the lean manufacturing process too far. Six Sigma processes have their place and can be beneficial when applied properly. However when it came to redistribution of responsibility and telling employees they would now be responsible for not only A, B, C, but L, M,N, O and Z as well with no increase in pay or benefits. They also expected everyone to not only accept their new responsibilities but did not allow for any additional time in the day to complete the extra work. I thought that's taking it a bit too far.
