Pros

Largest manufacturer of emergency vehicles in the US, with a few very dedicated engineering staffers willing to do the real work of improving the product lines. More design engineering work is never a problem, the opportunities for product enhancement are near endless.

Cons

Multifunctional teamwork is discouraged, as well as individual initiatives for better profitability, cost reductions or functional improvements. Repetitive reconfigurations of old ideas are the basis of the design and production of highly customisable products. Throughput numbers dominate the daily activity of all departments, there are no management lead activities defined to improve anything beyond the way exists at any given moment.

If you have the ability to troubleshoot machinery and like it, then you will do well.

Cons

If you are not a driven person to repair machinery on your own and want to learn more, then don't apply here. You will struggle!

Pros

Product, Customers, and it is never dull. I enjoy my work and the opportunity to build a broad technical understanding in a variety of areas. If you like old school professional relationships with sales people and customers, this is a great fit. Many people build lasting and strong relationships across out dealerships and customer base.

Cons

We are growing our manufacturing capabilities quickly, a lot of change is happening and that can be stressful. Leadership often sets goals that seem unachievable, which creates an environment of frustration in those periods. There has been a lot of movement in leadership, both from turnover, and from natural succession. This is adding to the pressure already existing from the growing throughput expectations and other big changes.
