Pros

You get what you put in... You can have a great career if all you do is work.

Cons

While they have a good employer value proposition, it is all lip service. SE wants to compete with tech companies or utilize the automotive companies' manufacturing principles and philosophies but don't want to pay for that type of work. Year over year the benefits package gets less competitive. Every year at the end of the year there are layoffs conducted in the shadows so they don't get any bad PR. These layoffs are a result of short-termism plaguing the supply chain organization. Those that stay need to carry on with even more responsibilities and expectations to do it all.

Pros

- Decent pay and good benefits - work truck with gas card -good experience

Cons

- management is disconnected from field employees - review process does not reflect employee performance since managers do not go out in field in order to properly assess job performance - poor communication which leads to chaotic project implementation - no standardization of necessary info for each customer site. You walk in completely blind each time you visit a customer you’ve never been to - safety is important, but corporate pushes redundant messaging so frequently i believe it has the opposite of the intended effect - forced to wear long sleeves FR shirts in hot weather even when you are not exposed to fire hazards any more than a standard office employee
