Not as good as they think they are

Pros

There are a lot of good people in middle management who are trying to do the best they can.

Cons

They claim to be a successful, progressive forward thinking company, but they do not commit adequate resources for operations. There is very little planning for production. There is no business process. They promise the customer deliveries they cannot meet, then hammer on manufacturing until they deliver. The result is unhappy customers and unhappy employees. When you're interviewing, they talk a good game, but you later learn that they are more concerned with charts and graphs than building a more efficient business.

Large, expanding company with opportunities

Pros

Lots of great people, the company is looking at future growth, and there are plenty of opportunities, especially with the recent acquisition of Cooper.

Cons

There are a lot of rural locations that make it more difficult to recruit talent. Innovation is often stifled by looking at shorter term analyses over the long term. Systems are outdated and the onboarding process is a "learn on the job" mentality with little to no training.
