Pros

Good people in the plants, doing their best with nominal support

Cons

Operations management is a JOKE, from the SVP down through site leadership - the operational strategy (as voiced by the SVP of Global Operations), "Live to fight another day..." There is no coherent long term vision, upper management totally driven by this quarter's financial results, using labor reductions (at any level of the organization) to "make their number. BEWARE, they are mostly GE management on some kind of equity deal with Blackstone and have no vision past the IPO / Sale.

Pros

The team is incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and supportive, which has made it easy to learn and feel comfortable asking questions. There is a strong focus on training and collaboration, helping me feel safe, well prepared, and confident in my role. I also appreciate the benefits, which support a good work-life balance.

Cons

One area for improvement is the flexibility for new employees regarding remote work hours.

Pros

PTO (if you could actually use it) is top tier

Cons

Don’t even know where to begin. Understaffed like you couldn’t believe. Unrealistic expectations for workload. Micromanagement to another level. Work life balance doesn’t exist. If you bring it up you’ll be told “that’s just the job”
