Pros

Good compensation and work hours

Cons

Very poor management, nobody seems to take responsibility for anything and people are just blaming everyone else for their poor performance. Resistant to changing anything, as this is how it's done here. Barely any transparency at all on what is happening inside the organization. DEI seems to be the biggest concern for large part of the organization for some reason, makes it kind of weird when you are an engineer and want to do engineering work. Management afraid to actually escalate things upwards as it might make them look bad. Management lying or purposely withholding information about how things are going until they eventually blow up and then they try blame someone else. No guidelines for anything, all proposed ideas are thrown into the bin without even hearing you out. They are working like I would assume a technology company in the 90s or early 2000s are working. Afraid of adapting new modern tools or industry practices as they are the "big player" according to themselves. Very high employee retention. Only people that seem to stay are either very old or MBAs that are just good at talking. All engineering people seem to be leaving.

Pros

You get paid for doing OT on weekends at the plant I work at now If you are in a shift that has less staffing you might earn more money on weekends as you will not have anyone to rotate with or less people to rotate with I am happy to have a manager who understands I have a lot of work pressure

Cons

If you are in a shift that has less staffing you will have a lot of work to do. For me the con is lots of work pressure in the shift I work. I think I do the work of atleast 2 people and sometimes even more. First shift will have people to rotate on weekends. Unfortunately 2nd shift doesn't have people to rotate with. We end up working every weekend but have same number of vacation days. People in 2nd can get there vacation days used up before other shifts. But still I would say its a good company considering I work in a manufacturing facility.
