Pros

- Decent wages and benefits - Relatively safe for a manufacturing job - Very knowledgeable shop staff

Cons

- Management is a revolving door - Leadership has a tendency to try to fix a problem and make it worse in the process - No advancement beyond the shop floor for production staff - Management is clueless to shop processes (may be a positive if you prefer that) - Constant mandatory overtime due to HR mismanagement and misunderstanding of key processes - There is another transformer manufacturing company not even 10 miles away that makes larger units, that pays $5+/hr. more. -A large chunk of the production workers have recently left.

Pros

Benefits, publicity looks awesome, life-work balance. Community involvement was good when I was working there. Hope is better now. Weekly meetings. Just that missing the point, which was to catch anything not going right...

Cons

"Culture" of seniority over productivity, efectiveness. Tje manager was very close friends with the seniors and preferred to listen to them than to the new guy. Sad. I denounced bullying and abusive behaviour of a few of the seniors, but it fell into deaf ears. Called the ombudsman and nothing happened. Got sick just thinking of going there the next morning. Became depressed and started getting late to work, which was cited as one more of the reasons to get fired. Started taking antidepressants because of all that.
