good for an entry level person who can just follow orders

Cons

Small Mom & Pap plant, struggling to play in the big leagues, poor leadership . slow to execute,, turning the plant into like a 3rd world factory. Very autocratic. Leadership is all talk and no action

Alright for a basic job, terrible for a career

Business Outlook

Pros

Easy work load most of the time, and you can shift around cells if you dislike your boss or presses you're running. You'll get a reasonable paycheck and benefits for someone with few skills/experience.

Cons

Miserly company/management that drives away competent people with microscopic to no wage increases and often shrinking benefits. People who work here decades make about the same as new hires. Management is incompetent and generally the hard working people here are demoralized and cynical because there's no reward for competency. Little room for advancement. I'm really not bitter at the company and if you just need a basic reasonable job it will work fine, but just being frank if you're in the top 50% of competency/work ethic you're mostly just wasting your time here and could probably find another manufacturing company with better pay and more room to advance.
