Pros

Average benefits. Great co-workers. That is just about it.

Cons

No real reward system. They tell you that bonus/raises occur when you show value creation. This just isn't true. Promotion and growth is virtually non-existent. The harder you work, the more they want to keep you in that position. They do not practice the belief that you need to have the right people in the right position. I've outgrown my current position two years ago. And here I am.

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.
