You get to be a hero, but management doesn't listen or know your business
Pros
- I get a thank you every single day. I fix problems. -Decent money and benefits including company car - Upward job movement potential - Decent working environment - Some work can be done from home or at your pace.
Cons
My company was recently purchased. 3M is really good about putting six sigma projects together but they heavily use managers and their own legacy people instead of people who work on the ground from business group to fix problems. There are major opportunities to enhance their healthcare business but I am concerned leadership might not be able to execute. We are still struggling to recover from covid as a business but our hospital customers have moved on and are wondering why we aren't ready to meet their needs. There isn't enough opportunity to get involved and make a difference in the real problems and opportunities the company has. It is a really good job if you are the type to just put your head down and work.
