Pros

There have been a few opportunities to work on new skills. I have had relative freedom to accomplish my tasks.

Cons

My direct management and supervisor express a general apathy toward issues I bring to them. I have to constantly make sure that I am being paid correctly and that deductions are correct. My supervision forgot that I was taking vacation even with ample notice had not submitted paperwork. The environment is extremely unsafe do to crowded conditons and heavy forklift traffic. There is little to no on the job training. My manager, supervisor, and two senior employees all gang up on new hires and work to whittle down their self esteem. I have seen 5 coworkers leave because of this. My coworkers group up and passive agressively trash talk each other to the point where no one is happy at work. My supervision is unable to keep things confidential. In an effort to cover this up they pass the "supervisor" hat around the engineering department like a Frisbee.
