Pros

The benefits provided are good. There are some opportunities to travel if you are considered a favorite by management.

Cons

Very micromanaged and no value for employees. Training process is terrible and there is no set plan for an employee.

Pros

MBM principles are great if ALL locations abide by them. It can be a long learning curve but once established, can be a huge benefit to getting things accomplished and for individuals to take ownership of their areas.

Cons

Some Senior Management "talk the talk" and train others the way MBM is supposed to work but when it is put to the test, they go back to favoritism for those they like and yelling and belittling others (in public, no less) those individuals that don't meet their expectations. Base pay is mostly fixed after hire date unless you are able to "part the seas", it will remain that way. Work/life balance is non-existent. Stress level is highest I have ever experienced.

Pros

Money, steady work, bonuses, lunch parties, lots of exercise don't need to go to the gym. Still have work when plant gets flooded by the Delaware River. When you find another job after this one you will realize the difference of a good company vs. bad company.

Cons

No life outside of work. Mandatory overtime, management lies to you, Koch's Ten Commandments MBM are for employee only, management does not follow them, especially respect, integrity and honesty. Many safety issues.
