Pros

Good place to learn lean manufacturing though pressure to have kaizen events sometimes made those a "check the box" exercise. Creativity encouraged. Decent pay and benefits. Learning and development encouraged.

Cons

Sometimes bullying leadership styles overlooked as long as the financial results were there which contradicted stated values. HR seemed to be easily fooled and went by the last statement heard vs. delving into details; perceived as wanting to gain favor with C-suite. Knee jerk line leadership reactions in attempt to gain profit at times vs. taking a longer term view.

Pros

You can be recognized for your work and accomplishments, though you may have to toot your own horn to get that recognition. Great teams though, and I enjoyed being on the floor.

Cons

All cells use some of the same tools, which should be more easily accessible. Benefits package isnt great, and they really need to rethink the maximum pay levels.
