Pros

There is very good training opportunities that is usually relevent to the required job tasks. There is a very good possibilities of promotion due to the various disciplines and departments such as facilities, manufacturing, retail, and new store construction or up grades. There is very good team work due to the integration of engineering and production and quality and safety. There are large capital improvement budgets in order to remain competitive with the competition both locally and nationally. It is usually a very fun place to work because it is very fast paced and the days tend to fly by.

Cons

Long hours are required during project installations and these are not usually compensated, noticed or acknowledged. It seems there is not ever enough time to get everything done required by upper management including audits, budgets, projects and the day to day activities to keep an aging plant and its associated infrastructure. It is a tight rope walk to keep old equipment running yet stay within spending on capital improvement budgets and maintenance budgets. It is difficult to justify the addition of maintenance mechanics so we are forced to work overtime which in the short term is good but in the long term can be a morale issue.
