Pros

Pay, benefits, opportunities, and some small areas with great leaders and teams. It looks like the CEO and senior leadership has the right idea and is making good changes, but manufacturing seems to be the slowest area to see any positive changes.

Cons

In general it is an old school buddy-buddy management style. Little to no candid feedback, HR styles from the 80's. Yet at the same time very fearful of lawsuits. So bad people are just moved around with no development and problems just mount on problems. Would be an awesome place if they could figure out how to get rid of problem people, and really invest in developing some modern leadership styles. Talking mainly about MTO.
