Pros

You will always have a lot of responsibility and more work than you can handle, so it helps the day go by fast! Never a dull day here. Upper management does not micro-manage and allows business managers to make business decisions, although they are very strict and sometimes stifling in the resources they allow. Good tuition reimbursement program and 401k. There are opportunities to advance and the company often (but not always) promotes from within.

Cons

Businesses are often looked at to be in "harvest mode" and it is difficult to get management to invest in needed resources. It can be frustrating when you see so many deficiencies and areas that need improvement but no budget or resources to do so. There is no lack of cash available though and projects that have a 1.5 year payback or better are easily funded. Management is willing to invest in new product development as well. Also, turnover is relatively high and management does not hesitate to make layoffs if businesses have a prolonged period of slowdown.

Flexible start time (6–8 AM) and ability to make up missed time. Supportive direct management and good work-life balance. Opportunity to learn a variety of manufacturing skills.

Cons

Compensation is not competitive with the current manufacturing market. Limited career growth and advancement opportunities for technicians. Skilled employees often need outside offers to receive meaningful pay adjustments. Random drug testing policy may be a drawback for some candidates.
