Pros

Benefits are okay i guess....

Cons

Management is the worst. Upper management will promote employees to be managers that have no idea about how to be managers. They don't hold people accountable, don't resolve conflicts, and don't advocate for their direct reports. They will work you to death and make you feel guilty that you don't do enough even though that you are working 3-4 different jobs even though that's not even your job. They "pride" themselves for being lean, but that's such a toxic work culture. Hey, ignorance is a bliss!! They have no idea that grass is greener on the other side.

Pros

Maybe a hybrid schedule that differs from department to department - hours are whatever the employee wants to make them unless they are a operator at a plant.

Cons

The list is endless - Compensation is terrible, middle management skills are lacking on how to handle employees, benefits are sad, if you take leave you are dinged on bonus or even possibly held against you from middle management, accountability of middle management is lacking, if ain't broke don't fix it is the motto here. It is broken and old system that has employees up in arms.
