Pros

Salary - For the local geography, the company overpays

Cons

The company (Consumer Products Divison) operates in functional and facility silos with each doing whatever they want whenever by whoever. Business management appears random, informal, impulsive, without regard to purpose, objectives, or effect. Process management and control seems to be a weakness. Accountability for improvements and basic result is another area of weakness . No process, no accountability; this results in an ever present state of firefighting, chaos, and incredible waste. Operations managers seem incompetent, complacent and ineffective. Corporate management is disconnected from the operations of the manufacturing facilities and have little idea what is really happening on a daily basis.
