Pros

I enjoyed my time there. Operators can be trained on different stations which encourages collective thought and appreciation for the product.

Cons

Manufacturing Engineers needed to be on the floor to understand the needs of operators and technicians. I often found that procedures needed to be revised and corrected. Job descriptions also need to be more thorough in how a certain tasked is to be done (For example, there were no official procedures on how to DPR or rework a component. It was orally taught and trained from person to person). Test benches, fixtures and equipment needed to be updated as well. It was a fast paced environment where quotas needed to be met each month, thus room for error was always possible.

Pros

Cool projects. 9/80 schedule. Decent benefits.

Cons

Toxic management. Old boys club mentality. Burn out culture. Resistant to change. Unlimited PTO is not unlimited and you are made to feel guilty for using PTO and penalized for exceeding 20 days. Management targets workers and plays favorites. Open mocking of other employees based on knowledge they shouldnt have. Very clicky, kinda like high-school. Located and in the absolute middle of no-where Florida. Those that have been there a long time only stay there because they live near by. Under market value for salary. Care more about optics than productivity. Set unrealistic timelines, workers are penalized for not making them but management is never held to the same standard. Everyone plays the blame game instead of owning up to their actions.
