Pros
Relaxed Environment, Decent Pay, Interesting Work, Generators Division is Growing
Cons
Engines division has no concrete guidance. Technical knowledge is highly lacking in upper management. Outsourcing of components is heavily emphasized and there is no desire to invest in critical processes or keep manufacturing internal. There is no trust between engineering and upper management, so resources are incorrectly distributed and outside advisors are frequently brought in. No good has come of outside advice due to the extreme complexity of the business and product. Lots of emphasis on lean principles, no attention to maintenance or technical needs. Many new leaders have no experience in engines or other highly technical manufacturers, so they cannot realize the true needs of the business or have a meaningful impact. Due to lack of trust, attention, and communication, many critical people have left and now the business is bleeding.
