Pros

Pay was average. Health insurance was the best around. Most people were great to work with, still friends with some.

Cons

RCI (Rapid Continuous Improvement) projects are a joke. You are forced to have one per week. Every department is required to have one per month with many of them related on the same things. They are mostly a waste of time. Overinflated savings are a big problem. Upper Management are mostly out of touch. They are stuck in the "old" style of management by brute force. Plant management is severely under qualified for their position. They micromanage every little thing. They have a "get something done now" attitude instead of figuring out the right thing to do. The safety culture is one of how do I get out of this instead of how do I do the right thing. This is company wide. Work/Life Balance is terrible. Shop employees and engineers have no balance. 60+ hours a week for engineers is expected.

Pros

Not much that stood out positively during my experience.

Cons

In my experience, training and advancement opportunities felt inconsistent and sometimes influenced by internal relationships rather than performance. I also felt that workload expectations were not always applied fairly. After many years with the company, I was ultimately terminated in a situation I personally felt was unfair.
