Pros

Depending on your role the work-lift balance can be either good or bad. Jobs at HQ in Toledo are probably worse for that than at a plant or in the field. Pay levels are fair, but there is a need to negotiate that and benefits are OK.

Cons

Systems are not top notch and implementation of new ones is done very poorly. As mentioned work-life balance at HQ is not great for many roles. Union environment at some facilities can make life difficult when it comes to asking for things to get completed, but most folks are flexibile. Lots of old-timers holding on to the way things were need to get with the program and realize the world has changed.

Pros

Great place to work, great training, lots of optional overtime, a unique process that involves many types of equipment to learn about, big growth opportunities and a very promising future for this specific location

Cons

Very outdated equipment, can be more reactive focused than preventive/predictive, there's not enough management or work force to efficiently operate the whole facility at its best
