Pros
There is a huge spread of technology. You can work with a lot of different equipment and learn as much as you want. The work can be challenging and rewarding to figure things out. I learned a lot working here!
Cons
Loved working here until things became so poorly mismanaged that it became impossible for me to effectively do my job. It got to the point that there were so many systems that had been tampered and modified, I never knew if it was a new legitimate issue or something someone else had made untested changes too. Wasting countless hours reverse engineering an entire system to find changes someone else made is unacceptable. Management downplayed these concerns and refused to enforce documentation of changes or any modicum of accountability. Documenting changes made would have at least given me a fighting chance to be able to do my job. Examples of things I was forced to deal with: -Instructed to replace parts that were not faulty to cover up for programming mistakes -unloader boom repeatedly crashing into the press because of new programming causing significant damage and downtime (new encoder system - deleted overtravel limits from logic) -new alarms that shut things down buried in logic with no resets -existing shutdowns that had their resets deleted -modifying timers or logic on equipment / sequences causing them to not work at all or work improperly
