Pros

GP pays well if you have a position in the manufacturing realm! KOCH brothers managed based principles are good if followed.

Cons

Poor leadership and no commitment to employee safety or product quality. Hourly employee died on the job and management dragged their feet on investigation and prevention. Sounds like a cover up. Union employees in LA do not care about the product quality and are safeguarded by union for producing bad quality to the consumer. Company culture is immature and long standing good ole boy network keeps outsiders from enabling positive change.

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.
