Pros

Like every job, it depends on what part of the organization you are in, but Lehigh in general is pretty average for the industry, with some portions much better, and very few worse.

Cons

Restructures itself a lot, with acquisitions in the late 2000's. Too much dependence on reports and checklists, and not enough eyes/feet in the field to verify. Corporate is a bit detached, luckily many of the groups are good at independence, and work despite Corporate's issues.

Pros

Large company so many resources to any computer programs or IT help you may need. Plants largely operate on their own without much micromanagement. Bosses answer the phone and are available when called upon for assistance. No issues getting any supplies needed within couple days

Cons

Recently bought by investment company so they are downsizing overhead costs on plants that lose money. Poor daily process. Superiors request all improvement ideas go through them which they then twist or pawn off as their own and slows down everything. Management disconnected from plants and have poor problem solving and leadership skills. "Cover your own a**" and "Its not my fault" kind of culture. Management struggles to see larger picture and hinders plant workers more than helps There have been many sexist law suits against the company and they do not encourage internal female promotion from pc to saleswoman because they feel it will hinder the company in a male dominated industry.
