Pros

Important mission - to assist small and mid-sized manufacturers with reducing costs while growing their business. Opportunity to work with great manufacturers, doing important work.

Cons

CFO is a miser who doesn't trust people. Lack of trust pervades organization. CEO has a temper, holds grudges, plays favorites. VP Ops rarely responds to emails or calls. May take up to 6 attempts to make contact, but then doesn't follow through. Continuing decline in revenue demonstrates lack of leadership.

Pros

IMEC's mission is to be the catalyst for improving the STATE of manufacturing in Illinois. What a great mission. Today I get to work with experts in their fields and I get to see the impacts they generate for manufacturers. I am hosted by a university. 5 weeks of vacation and a pension plan are rare today. Work-life balance is tremendous.

Cons

Challenges of the job are often external and include ever changing priorities and guidance from US Commerce.
