Pros

With it's high volume manufacturing you get to see many different lean principles and tools get utilized. I was able to learn many different processes to track manufacturing performance and solve problems.

Cons

Some of the tools used seemed to miss the final bit of follow through to get the most out of the exercise. This is probably a common thing across different companies. The smaller day to day tasks like ordering tools, replacing fixtures, and the regular daily troubleshooting can really bog down your ability to work on bigger, higher impact projects
