Pros

- opportunity to work with other technical teams more so than I've had in the past - heavy workload and responsibility that prepared me to get a promotion outside the company

Cons

- Rampant Nepotism - Double Standards to the MAX! - hiring the wrong talent and paying them over market. the Solution when they can't do their job, is to spread the work/responsibilities to other TM's (and not increase those manager's comp to take on the other TM's shortcomings). TM = Team member - Gender and workload inequeties within the same team and job leveling across the org (I was HQ based, not as sure on the MFG side) - Toxic team environments or "kool-aide" teams (the teams that are drinking the NIA kool-aide) - micro managing and Clueless leadership - hiring too many very junior people - senior leadership blocking team members from making a job change

Pros

There are a few good workers left, for now.

Cons

the management doesn’t know what they are doing They fire people who have put absolute hard work in by finding ways to fire them They don’t care about the hard work you put in for them, or the overtime. They won’t have your back, and it’s a very stressful invironment You walk around a concrete floor ALL DAY! And they endeavor to fire you if they see you sitting for just a few minutes after you’ve run around like a mad man/woman for HOURS all the while they observe you working hard… they just don’t care about your well being. You can get injured and they will fire you for being a “liability”. You could get a stratch and your jobs on the line. The hours are grueling long and when you say no to overtime because you’ve already exhausted yourself they will, again, seek to terminate your employment The new manager of line 3 and injection will be the fall of those areas. He started a fight with a female employee his first week( she was breaking records in line 3 and he had her moved to another shift a line because he couldn’t work with her) DO NOT WORK HERE!! The maintenance team is worse! Their manager doesn’t discipline them at all, hours and hours of break time and the operators get fired for an extra 10 minutes through the whole 12 hour shift… DO NOT WORK HERE
