Pros

Pay, benefits and co workers, growth industry.

Cons

Very demanding environment during COVID and past two years of business growth including extremely long hours including pressure to work weekends, holidays and vacation and borderline core values. High attrition rate. Now mandatory time off and the majority of manufacturing and supply chain is moving rapidly to SE Asia. Jobs are starting to be cut and most people assume it will continue.

Pros

Opportunities to support global activities

Cons

Heavy micromanagement — frequent revisions on ppt to minor details like font size and colors. Frequently calling staffs even after work hours and lunch time. Manager often takes on additional work from other teams without considering current team workload, So the manager appears supportive and “nice” externally but creates additional burden to the subordinates. Manager controls team budget strictly for team-building activities (events and meals), team members feel restrictive and reluctant to participate, for example team members dare not order appetizers, dessert or drinks on top of entrees during team events. Manager used up most of the travel budget. Biz trip and personal travel boundaries are unclear, especially when manager frequently has business trips overlaps with personal travel. Seems like manager using biz trip to get free hotel and free air tickets for PTO.
