Business Outlook

Pros

Good learning curve in the beginning. Lots of experienced people to learn from. Lots of potential projects if you communicate with the right people. Also lots of opportunities across departments.

Cons

After about 6 months, the work becomes repetitive and mentoring ends. At this point you need to teach yourself anything you want to learn.

Pros

Salaries are very competitive. For the most part the managers and employees always have the best intentions to do what is best for the company and their customers. Very friendly place to work.

Cons

The global and manufacturing perspective holds them back from achieving higher results. Too focused on making money, micromanaging, and reducing head count to save money. Not enough focus on doing what is best for their employees.
