Pros

The benefits and pay are great. There's a lot of flexibility being salaried. There's a lot of really smart people I get to work with.

Cons

We're becoming "lean"... which can be good if it's done right. But, it's being done wrong. The people implementing the tools don't understand them. They don't get Valuestream mapping, Kaizen, LDI, none of it. It's all a perversion of what the TPS system really is. What's worse, there's a severe lack of leadership, and too much onus is put on the little guy. If they keep this up, they'll be in trouble.

Pros

Was a great company 5 years ago. Declined heavily in the last 3 years. Way too many lay offs and restructuring.

Cons

Favoritism. Manager has no answers looks to someone they manage for answers. This person gatekeeps information and is overall toxic. Contradictory instructions. Managers will rely on bad information and then different managers will give you conflicting orders. If you try to go to the upper managers they will terminate you and lie about it. You could be asked to solve problems you were not hired for.
