Pros

Management was able to leverage the knowledge and skill of high achievers.

Cons

The database of Materials supplied by regional distribution centers could have been made friendlier (more informative) if there were an interface, based on a real-time database, that provided indented BOMs (with corresponding quantities, location, status, projected delivery dates, reporting structure within the BOM). Although there were BOMs, the database provided did not allow for searches to better reflect inventory down to the individual item level.

Pros

Objective, attempting to embrace new technology, great work life balance, about 90% of the tools you actually use on a day to day basis. Many opportunities to modernize and automate. Good career opportunities since there are so many various divisions. I was able to move up quite a bit once I 'got my foot in the door'.

Cons

Not really ready to embrace new technologies without lots of people dragging their feet. Upper level management (SES) can steer the ship at a whim. Most companies are undemocratic but it feels quite two faced when SES want to get feedback but really don't act on negative feedback. Way too Tableau heavy. For a company that deems itself as 'too reliant on SAS' it seems like we want to find a SAS 2.0 instead of embracing open source tools. Difficult to work in a different 'lane' without doing a JRP or permanent re-assignment.
