Cons
Nepotism is prevalent within the company. Only people with high ranking family members are promoted quickly. It is not uncommon to see a director's family member with a 2 yr degree, not related to engineering, be placed in an engineering roles. Then promoted within a few years. The diversity in management is very limited. It is unusual to see anyone other than a white male in a manager role within manufacturing. Management styles vary different from manager to manager and plant to plant. Some places you are expected to work 60 hours a week and no comp time. While others may get comp time, or work less than 40 hours a week with 1.5 to 2 hour lunches. Within manufacturing, we have little ability to flex or times. It is mostly 7:30am to 5pm. However, in other areas of the company, people are allowed to work from home at least one day a week. Within the past few years, pay raises have been limited due to the loss in sales and market share. There is a fear within the company to say only good things about the company.
