Pros
- excellent benefits and pay - generally professional company culture
Cons
Upon my resignation, the plant manager commented that he didn't understand why turnover in process engineering roles across the division was so excessively high... well here is why: - terrible work/life balance. 60+ hours a week and phone calls in the middle of the night. - employees who have not been with the company for long are treated like idiots by coworkers all up and down the food chain. Young process engineers suffer literal verbal abuse by operators, managers, quality, product development, supply chain, everybody. I saw three of my peers CRY LITERAL TEARS from the abuse in a period of six months. - no prioritization of problems, everything has to be solved immediately and everything is the process engineer's fault. A chiller line broke in the middle of the night? PE's fault. An operator ran the wrong recipe? PE's fault. Scratches on the web? PE's fault. - Yay! you finally solved a problem!! OK, big deal... why haven't you fixed these other 10 things yet??
