Pros

Pay is good and the benefits are OK. I've learned more about 3 phase power

Cons

Management doesn't seem to care about anything but the stock holders bottom line. Communication is horrific. I feel disrespected by most of the management. Training is pathetic. Most of production is moving to Mexico. They treat hourly workers bad and salary only slightly better. Most of my opinions is shared by my coworkers.

Pros

Great immediate supervisor and their boss. Made top-down communications tolerable. Great co-workers and great collaboration that lifted the entire team.

Cons

(1) RIF based on tenure, not performance. HR is too powerful a department, and everyone fears it. (2) Tenure made you lazy, killed creativity, initiative, and promoted a "yes" culture. (3) During COVID layoffs, CEO pay went from $3.7 million to $15.x million, while employees endured 25% furloughs for 3 months, and management 10% reduction in pay for 6 months - explain how that is reasonable. (4) CEO declared DEI as the way forward for career mobility, and a lot of young, promising talent walked out the door, including DEI-qualified minorities. (5) I was one of those minorities.
