Pros
IT Engineers wear many hats, so there is the opportunity to gain exposure to a wide array of technologies.
Cons
This is a manufacturing company, so IT isn't viewed as a high priority in the company. The IT department lacks leadership and resources, and talent is spread far too thin. While engineers wear many hats and are exposed to a wide array of technology, most of it is dated. Exposure to current technology is limited due to an aging support staff that does not keep current in their technical abilities along with a lack of commitment to training from the company. There is little opportunity for advancement here and most employees stay in the same position for very long periods of time without promotion.
