Production technician

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They offer decent benefits packages

Cons

Management is all about numbers and profits. People are nothing more than tools and stepping stones to make quarterly reports look good. People are expected to make their job their whole life. Pay is not competitive, and there is little room for advancement.
