      Pros

      Flexibility to work from home if needed, depends on manager, not all departs are allowed

      Cons

      They haven't promoted anyone in my department on 5 years! Other people retire or quit and they don't replace them and we inherit their workload. That has happend for the past 5 years, and haven't been given raises for the added workload, which is a insane amount, or the promotions for doing the work of people that were at a higher level than you in the department.

      Perhaps too lean and shrinking

      Pros

      Coworkers are very talented individuals. Immediate supervisors are competent. Lots of interesting work.

      Cons

      Upper management is on a cost reduction spree and that means first your backup, then your position. Every time someone leaves they don't replace that person, so that means more work and stress for everyone. A single person can only plug so many holes in a ship...

      Timken RBS is a no go for Maintenance Technicians

      Pros

      Programming and building new machines is the best thing. The work is varied and at your own pace. Many projects are available.

      Cons

      Apathetic supervision. The manager is either being lied to about team members behaviors and performance or complicit. Four workers with tenure run the shop and work actively to run new employees out. High turnover. The shop is poorly organized. Priorities change minute to minute. Lack of new employee onboarding program and no on the job training.
