Pros

Location close to Freeway, Shopping and Restaurants. Co-workers.

Cons

Understaffed in virtually all support functions Off-shoring/Outsourcing jobs - no long term future, employees not valued Frequent employee RIFs to keep up quarterly numbers preceded by [unexplainable] upper management promotions Inability to challenge bad decisions Planning gets in the way of execution Business Excellence is a joke - we talk the talk, but we don't walk the walk CAPA process used far too frequently as a project management tool No technical ladder for growth
