Pros

I learned a lot not only about bearings but of the entire industry to which we supplied bearings. Lots of independence with support when needed. Great work/life balance in my position.

Cons

Below average pay. The mothership in Canton, OH pulls all the strings. They can and will override your decisions at any time for any or no reason.
