Pros

Great pay and benefits. Most of the employees are great to work with. If you fully embrace the MBM culture you can develop yourself as a person.

Cons

Training is very poor, they expect you to ask the right questions before you have a foundation of knowledge about the business. Also, they promote their Market Based Management philosophy but most of the upper management does not walk the walk. Most of the people in the finance department are treated poorly.

Pros

Talented and hardworking electricians, operators, mechanics, and plant personnel. Interesting automation and controls work with opportunities to solve challenging technical problems. Significant autonomy at the local level when responding to production issues. Good compensation and benefits. Corporate engineering resources are knowledgeable and generally willing to help.

Cons

Expectations and priorities frequently changed without corresponding adjustments to workload. Performance feedback lacked important operational context, such as competing priorities, project reassignment, and resource constraints. Communication tended to favor frequent meetings over clear written expectations. Accommodation requests and communication support were difficult to navigate and lacked a clear process. Single-engineer staffing model creates a challenging environment for vacations, medical appointments, training, and long-term sustainability. Heavy emphasis on immediate deliverables can make long-term engineering work and root-cause analysis difficult.
