Poor management

Pros

1) The people who work on the production floor daily w/o complaining. 2) The workers that care to be decent people w/ each other

Cons

1) Owned by foreign parent company thereby ridiculously tight budget control. Gotta justify spending on misc. items. 2) Excess paperwork, forms & red tape that stall decision making. 3) Production incompetence is amazing. Good example of nepotism. Most cant stand it & leave. 4) Egghead mngrs w/o a clue of day to day. Only 1or2 Eng. that actually do work. Expected to handle extra workloads and "Title puffers" w/big egos and small brains. 5) Wind bag w/ a "smartest person in the room" mentality runs ops. Expect high sell with a very low quality delivery on results. 6) Machine shop is ignored and is in a sad state. Equipment old & broken down, no willingness to invest in improvement of machine or people. Morale is so low you can smell it in the pipes . Shop leads hold the place together with little to no upper mngmt backing. 7) No growth opportunities at all. Constantly working on turn over projects that others leave or quit midway when they discover the b.s. that is microline. `\_(*_*)_/ 8) Recognize & reward your employees for achieving overall production goals. 9) Enough with the CV19 mask restrictions. This is not Japan.

One of the Worst Places to Work

Pros

Very little pros to mention, outside of general autonomy.. but that also requires you to figure out exactly what is needed, as very little communication is given unless you did something wrong.

Cons

Whole list of Cons.. 1. Company has no true leadership at the top, not "North Star" guidance 2. Communication is terrible throughout the entire company, everyone stays within their own space for the most part 3. Most jobs are seen as project based, where for the most part it is a "check the box" exercise in futility to get anything to move forward 4. Almost next to no career advancement in any role, as the company is small and you are fortunate to even get a small title raise 5. Technology is stagnant, very little advancement of overall portfolio outside of a once every 5 year small acquisition, that for the most part does not move the bottom line much 6. Internal processes are slow, to the point of being a super drag on morale and overall quality of work. Sometimes seems intentional to keep the "worker bees" busy. 7. There is next to NO culture..literally nothing to shine a light on.. and there are constant exceptions to the rule when it comes to who comes into the office and who can stay outside.. a lot of that starts at the top.. therefore that leads to poor project management and overall dysfunction when trying to move anything forward 8. Sales and Sales Management gets away with making a ton of excuses on why things cannot get done..at most esteemed companies, those people, also seen as anchors, would have been let go a long time ago.
