Pros

Decent benefits with the company. They make a Nobel product that serves the community and you can feel good about the product that you make.

Cons

Stay far away from the manufacturing floor. All of their programs they "live" by are just talk and doesn't me at a anything to the director of manufacturing down. They claim all changes come from the employees ideas but they are just management ideas from themselves.

Pros

Largest manufacturer of emergency vehicles in the US, with a few very dedicated engineering staffers willing to do the real work of improving the product lines. More design engineering work is never a problem, the opportunities for product enhancement are near endless.

Cons

Multifunctional teamwork is discouraged, as well as individual initiatives for better profitability, cost reductions or functional improvements. Repetitive reconfigurations of old ideas are the basis of the design and production of highly customisable products. Throughput numbers dominate the daily activity of all departments, there are no management lead activities defined to improve anything beyond the way exists at any given moment.
