Pros

The only thing that makes most night survivable, are the people I work with. For the most part were a great team and we got eachothers backs.

Cons

We recently achieved "gold" certification and the amount of pressure, stress, and work expected from the average employee before and after that certification keeps increasing. Perticipation in there different "teams" (FI, ME ect.) is not required but they sure do make u feel bad if ur not on one. Not to mention allllllll the work and projects they have you do to save the plant 10s of thousands of dollars... Then give u a 25$ gift card they tax at 40% when u finish ur project. Not enough money for the gross amount of work they have been forcing on us.

Pros

The salary was good, and the people in the department I worked in were friendly

Cons

Politics at the company were tricky to navigate. Success was more about who liked you rather than merit. Bad behavior would go unaddressed if the person was liked
