Pros
- Work schedule flexibility dependent on machine run schedule - Tons of low hanging fruit (projects) to work on and freedom to take on new projects and spend money - Plant manager has a good head on his shoulders, but is too disconnected from issue at hand - There were so many good people in low management...
Cons
- Site still not profile after 3 years - Site losing 1/2 of their business earlier this year and slow to recover - Lack of attention to basic quality and basic chemical safety requirements - Lack of accountability by several members in management team - Watch for bait and switch tactics if accepting a job. It may not be the job you applied for - Most employees are "Silo'd" by mid management. No communication. Most of the lower management trying to keep communication stream flowing - Senior leadership is disconnected from the issues at hand on the floor level and has been making no effort to connect with their lower salary and hourly staff - Union contract is excessively lenient preventing removal of any employees short of committing a felony - Career growth is linear, you are waiting for the next person to either move up or leave the company - Upper management calls for change but makes no effort to drive it. Good policies in place with no enforcement or ability to enforce due to lenient union contract - Company is not merit based and high performers are not promoted for their work - Expect high salary turnover over the next 6 months at this site
