Pros

My position was eliminated so I moved into this role and while I’m thankful I had a job and was able to learn new skills, it wasn’t for me.

Cons

Disappointed with the company for outsourcing my department. Pay was abysmal.

Pros

I would love to add something here but there are none.

Cons

- Suck-ups, there's a lot of them. - Safety culture is mostly lip service. - Since it is a private equity firm, they are not interested in actual manufacturing improvements but want to pretend. - The CEO is a jacked dude that basically has mastered the art of BS.
