Pros

there used to be pros but i cant think of any that are left.

Cons

Too much micro managing. Will not allow department to buy parts to repair machines or make upgrades to them. Will not allow capital spending to upgrade plant process equipment. Continuing to cut budget across the plant. Lots of favoritism. People in high positions arent held to the same standard as workers ( managers can have horrible numbers and safety incidents on their shift and nothing is done about it ). Taking away sick time benefits, calling constant mandatory overtime, forcing you to cover for someone else otherwise they write you up. They'll promote workers with no drive who have lots of issues with other workers just because rather than promote the people who actually deserve it.
