Pros

- The coworkers were the only thing that made the job alright. - There are many people that have been with the company a long time and very knowledgeable, but that information doesn't make its way to new employees.

Cons

- Management changes every couple years and there's so much turnover nobody knows what's going on. - No career development plans and was told by my boss there are no advancements in your future in your current role and you need to change job titles to move up. - Worst Quality Management System I've ever seen, I was shocked how we were able to pass any audits. - If you are a good employee, they pile on everyone else's work once they leave and don't hire anyone else back, so you're stuck with a role that isn't on your job responsibility. It leads to burnout extremely fast. - HR does not care one bit about you, you are replaceable and a resource to HR. - They keep decreasing benefits and feels like your on a sinking ship. - Production machines are on their last leg, some 70 years old, and can't make good parts but are sold without any inspection or testing performed. - Customer returns aren't seen as an issue to management and they will knowingly ship bad parts to customers to meet revenue. - There is no training available and most employees have no idea about the QMS. - Documentation is the worst I've ever seen and severely outdated. - Lack of developing new engineers leads to severe engineering issues in production - Production areas are extremely outdated and old-fashioned. - Invested a lot of money into equipment in the shipping department that didn't address the root cause and deal with multiple shipping issues every day. - Departments do not work well together

Pros

A lot of good people working here.

Cons

Outsourcing too much design work to India and running with too little design and engineering staff in Kalamazoo. Quality is really suffering at the expense of speed. Nexus is a really poor PLM system. It has hurt productivity significantly and caused employees immense frustration.
