Pros

A lot of good hourly employees and a few great salary engineers who give it their best against the odds.

Cons

Lots of management but no real leaders anymore. Management doesn't even pretend to care about hourly employees. Corporate talks the talk but the plant doesn't even try to follow the messages we hear. Many good engineers and hourly leave after burning out. Office does not exist to serve and support operations but to make their own jobs easier.
