Pros

~Most enjoyable part of the job is being around good people

Cons

~Typical day at work consists of mostly fire fighting and/or reacting ~Don't learn anything new, except for how management should NOT run a manufacturing operation ~Workplace culture is really negative and morale is LOW (Pre-COVID even). Employees that are mostly frustrated due to out of touch management ~Hardest part of the job is watching incompetence run rampant at certain key positions, accountability is non-existent for most critical operational positions, and watching good employees leave as soon as they have a chance and/or see what's really going on around them
