Pros

Huge and complex operations that offer valuable opportunities to learn and develop soft skills as well as role-specific skills. Global company with multiple career paths possible. Career plans are respected and pursued. Nice international mentoring process in place. Company culture and values are taken seriously. Compensation and benefits are great.

Cons

Some managers - especially those that were promoted bacause of their hard skills and are now leading senior and experienced employees - still in the command and control approach may demotivate teams and talents.

Pros

The people are pretty great. Not any of management, but the other operators and maintenance hands (the ones the plant manager hasn’t laid off) are about all this place has left. This used to be a great site to work at, even during the hard times it was still a great place to be.

Cons

Current plant manager hates operators, tries to make employees lives miserable. Cuts the yearly bonus to ensure he receives his. Cuts all overtime. Demoralizes operators daily. Lays off maintenance and puts even more work on operators. All of the cons would be fixed if the current plant manager(C.E.) was to leave. The quality of work life is absolutely squashed by the plant manager who does not care for operators and maintenance, yet these are the people that keep this place running.
