Most toxic environment I've ever been apart of.
Pros
Awesome facility. First shop I ever worked at where you could easily get along with everyone on the floor no matter where they came from. Quite a few people from out of state since everyone in Washington knows to stay away, so that brings some pretty diverse skill sets to learn from others. Machines are well taken care of, tooling is always readily available. Inspection equipment is very well taken care of, multiple of the same item to make sure no one goes without.
Cons
Management. First off, you're an Experienced Operator who can set up. That's it. Be prepared to be treated like trash no matter who you are, what shift you work or how much experience you have. Forget offering ideas for improvement, yours are no good here. Know a better endmill or turning insert that you've used in the past? Forget about it. It doesn't exist, unless it was in the 90's. Tool paths take unreasonable long and you know a better one because you're an experienced machinist? No you don't. Don't even think that you do. It can't be done. If you're a true machinist, forget programming, it's not allowed. Want to see the backplot from Mastercam while running your 5axis tool paths? Forget about it. You need to read the code and draw a mental picture before you press that button and crash the machine into hardware that's already 6 months behind and is worth more than anything you've ever made before. Also, for the love of God don't sit down.
