Pros

Ability to do whatever you want, focus on lean is a high, a lot of opportunities to learn

Cons

This is in reference to the Birmingham division. Employees and production supervisors on the floor were horrible to work with. Not nice or easy by any means. Engineers were forced to come in at 6am as well as numerous Saturdays (when not needed). It was a very cut-throat environment, everyone throwing everyone under the bus. It was a union shop, so that doesn't help either.

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.
