Pros

High volume of production work. Fair competitive pay especially for entry level production. Quick on-boarding process. Employment production standards have been raised. Attendance accountability.

Cons

High health benefits. Can be very chaotic. The company is very cut throat…that can be good, but bad if you aren’t willing to work or come to work. Which….the majority of folks who are let go, and some very quickly is that they don’t work. Or they don’t come to work. Or they are lazy and think showing up and walking around is how it’s all supposed to go. Ask anyone, especially on the entry level of production why they are let go and you will get some BS story about how awful the place is yet they can’t see through their own distorted thoughts and hold themselves accountable.

Pros

Nothing I can say about

Cons

The current organizational structure reflects serious gaps in leadership capability, technical understanding, and workplace culture. In several key positions, individuals with limited technical background and communication skills are placed in critical roles such as Testing Head, Quality Head, and Production Supervision. This creates a disconnect between engineering requirements and decision-making at the operational level. The environment is further affected by high internal politics across multiple levels of the organization. Instead of addressing root causes, issues are often deflected between departments, with individuals prioritizing self-protection and maintaining their image in front of ownership rather than resolving engineering and production challenges. A significant concern is the lack of alignment between management decisions and engineering realities. Operational constraints, production challenges, and technical workflows are frequently misunderstood or overlooked, particularly due to a strong bias toward cost and procurement perspectives rather than end-to-end engineering execution. Additionally, the work environment has become increasingly challenging for engineering professionals. Many experienced engineers have chosen to leave the organization after securing long-term stability opportunities, and there is limited willingness among them to return due to the prevailing work culture. Overall, the combination of weak technical leadership, excessive internal politics, and misaligned priorities has created an environment that is not conducive to sustainable engineering excellence or employee retention.
