CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you work for plants 1 or 2, the job is great. Great people, management that is active and supports emplyees

Cons

If you work for plant 3 (ECPD) the job is the most frustrating you will ever have. Top management is not connected with day to day activities. There are conflicting goals, and everyone throws each other under the bus to get ahead. Everyone is stressed out and frustrated with their job including hourly and salary employees.
