Pros

Great pay and benefits; excellent 401k match; paid week off after Christmas with out having to use personal paid time off

Cons

Management style from the 1970's - employees seen as property - response to problems is "work more and longer hours" - ethical concerns, they report false information to upper management. The expectation is that departments work against each other. Absolute chaos. Inventory accuracy 60% at best, no work instructions, no training department, inaccurate bills of materials, will not address the issues, then want to know why products don't ship on time. Do not believe in process improvement, only "blame and shame".

Pros

Good company, good culture overall

Cons

Pay could be less than the market, though not too low. Work life balance does cover some of that gap

Pros

Coworkers are great Many problems so you stay busy as a CI person The people at the worker bee level are the only real pro

Cons

Managers are too “wise” You can’t change anything inside the ERP but they all want ERP changes (it’s bad you will get frustrated) Super decentralized meaning all building operate how they want to. They make it sound like a strength but it’s literally their biggest weakness. Managers do not understand processes USZ or the NSC in Charlotte has a serious issue of hiring people who are not qualified for manager roles as managers. Discrimination They care more about how you look and not so much about the work you produce
