Pros

The product platform is good. There’s definitely career stability/growth with the increased demand in the next coming year or two. There are some loyal, dedicated, and hard-working individuals who help drive the deliverables.

Cons

Attrition rate is triple the annual metric, quality issues (non-stop nonconformance’s and product failures) are apparent across the entire site, associates are overworked with 10-12 hours being a norm every single day, no work/life balance, and delivery is priority over anything. Leaders sit high in their pedal-stool and demand numbers/change but never go to the actual Gemba to see the real issues. Culture change is talked about but there are no real changes in the organization. And, did I mention people across the site are leaving left and right?

Lovely people all trying to do the right thing.

No real collaboration at the senior level. Vision is not clear, and not always aligned. Inconsistent decision making.
