Pros

Going home at the end of the day.

Cons

Every day is a new negative at this place. Force out your talent and hire more office people who add little if any value to your process. Every one of which has to come up with some new fancy acronym to justify their position. Constant change in procedures and processes by people who never even set foot on the production floor. No accountability, engineering is nonexistent. All claim to be working from home. Rarely answer emails or texts. From quality to maintenance to engineering everyone has left. It will take years to replace the talent that has left this facility. Mid level managers rarely leave their office. Constantly watching cameras that are supposed to be for "food safety".

Pros

Great people who believe in a common mission. Strong leadership and support.

Cons

Budgets and decision making for technical programs are centralized at a high level with little to no consideration for how it affects individual programs and their unique needs. Heavy bureaucracy involved in setting up simple things.
