Pros
The Associates on the production floor really want to produce the best quality possible. Willing to help wherever possible. Good cooperation from other departments when needed.
Cons
Micromanagement by the manager of my department. Supervisors in this department not empowered to make needed changes. Supervisors are not given critical communication about production changes. Manager often makes allows people to go home without communicating to the supervisors. Supervisors are not permitted to train associates when the opportunity arrives due to an inflexible training schedule. Supervisors miss opportunities to make affective changes due to micromanagement. Manager creates and adversarial atmosphere whenever involved in addressing issues with production, quality, management and other departments. Poor communication from top down.
