Pros
Nice colleagues. Fair pay. Brand new facility expansion and office area. Learning ground for inexperienced young professionals (small pond leadership opportunity and manufacturing exposure, not best practices).
Cons
Woefully insufficient parking. Location in Creedmoor/Butner (unactionable after expansion). Full-time in-office requirement feels arbitrary (or blindly old school?). Good for having meetings in-person or production collaboration, but not necessarily every day. High turnover, with flippant jokes and acceptance by some people. Questionable what director level is doing. Manager level doing the best they can. Always shorthanded and so can’t implement PMO framework to get the business running more logically. Business model (acquiring random collection of old parts that previous owners don’t want anymore) lacks any unifying vision (beyond $$) or creative product development opportunity. Annual bonus target of 15% advertised in offer is unrealistic (only if annual profit numbers are exceeded, while reality is lots of OT trying to get close to baseline). Questionable future. Widely anticipated that current ownership bought them, are currently pumping them up, and intend to sell again in the next few years.
