design team leader lacks commitment to training promises made during the interview process. Design team members show lack of commitment in training new personal. They are afraid of losing their overtime. They set new trainees up to fail.

Pros

* Most staff I work with is very pleasant and gives 110%. * Most staff is willing to help, and at times will go above and beyond to help you if you show how much you value their input. * I learned a lot from a few key people, and one thing they had in common was that they are willing to take time to teach each and every day. * I liked how Watlow allowed its employees to move laterally throughout the organization, as long as it was a help to the organization as much as the employee.

Cons

* No clear direction from upper management, it is like a bad game of telephone. * When a really great co-worker comes in, they do not stay long. And the ones that do try to implement good changes, are pushed out after a few years. Those few superstars can only beat their heads against a wall for so long before they decide maybe their skills could be better used somewhere else.
