Pros

The talent of some of the employees who work here.

Cons

Targets are so high that no one is making money. The pay is low compared to industry standard. Keep asking for more and more work but paying less money.

Pros

I've worked at S+N in Memphis, TN going on 17 years. I've been able to take advantage of the tuition reimbursement program and move around in my career. There's a great culture of building and growing your career within S+N. I started as a Sr. Machinist and had the opportunity to move around quite a bit.

Cons

Decisions on strategy & manufacturing improvements come from knee jerk reactions at time, or at least it seems that way. It would be advantageous to leverage the experience of the team that has 10+ years of experience to contribute to decision making.
