Business Outlook

Pros

Get to work with many different people. Large plant site and get to learn about many products and equipment.

Cons

Management doesn't always agree with your opinion even though you are the expert. Changes are then made by management which eventually don't work. Then there is a difficult process of going back to the previous method or coming up with a new method.
