Pros
Busy! Work days go fast & there is no shortage of tasks to complete. However, those tasks are scattered all around and half of the day is finding where to document all the work that has been done.
Engineers are great, same with project managers and buyers. If you are open to communication and working as a team this is a great environment. It is a great position for increasing your purchasing/supplier chain skills for when you decide you have enough and want to go elsewhere.
Cons
Micro Manager Major!!! You will do everything that is asked and it will NEVER be enough. Even if the work you do is great, management will find a fault and bring it to your attention with a magnifying glass and give you a microphone expecting you to define what went wrong and will hold you to it even after the 'fault' is corrected. The environment is nasty and disrespectful. Everyone keeps their heads down and it feels like crazy town that no one is coming to rescue you from the venomous demands and unfair expectations. There is such a thing as a stressful job, then, there is your manager making it way worse by how they treat their department. Pay is terrible. If you are willing to accept this position go as high as you can because they go low and the stress from management and the demand of the job topped with low low pay is frustrating. If the environment is going to be toxic they need to at least MAKE IT WORTH IT BY PAYING EMPLOYEES STUPID HIGH SALARIES! Then maybe, just maybe, people will stick around for the abuse if they can at least afford a massage on the weekends and a vacation.
