Pros
- Generally good people to work with - Has loyal customers - Products are in a nitch market
Cons
- No lean processes or a good understanding on lean - Very micromanaged. From Ops manager and especially the MFG ENG Manager. You will never have your own thought - Lead times on projects are way to agressive and are set-up for failure. - Old business with no room for internal growth. You can move in the company if you are friends with upper managment. - Most managers should not hold there position. Most are uneducated for the task and dont have the social skills to deal with people. - No work life balance (Your world is heavly micromanaged!) - HR is horriable to deal with. - Internally the company is very divided and looks to past instead of the future. - Labor force runs the shop which leads to process issues that effect lead times and process flow.
