Pros
The employees that are the production group seem to genuinely care about you as a person. The pay seems to be on the up and up. Medical is pretty good for what you pay. It is small for the employment numbers and does have a facility growth potential.
Cons
Be cautious about the pay offering, it does come back and bite you in the form of negativity in upper management. The thought behind it is your pay justifies a lack of recognition or opens the door to daily negative judgement. There is also a perception that the better you demoralize or injure a person the faster way to being recognized and earning awards. The only thing that matters in the Plant Leadership is the green numbers in the monthly end. Safety is not a practiced encouragement, it is a forced regiment of mindless paperwork. Quality is also under the same guidelines as safety, where move and manipulate the numbers is forced and not proven and supported. Most of the production floor feels like they have to talk about something in meetings or they will be punished by the highest manager. This in turn leads to delays in making the facility run better or smoother. And leads back to the negative treatment of the core team staff to explain why the issue exists. This leads to finger pointing, backstabbing, discomfort in teamwork and problem solving and just a fear of any communication between people. Mostly you will find fear in the whole group, from the bottom to the top.
