Pros

It is a paycheck and that is it!!. Some good people/employees at the lower levels! If you like to travel, there is opportunities.

Cons

Where do I start. Senior Management will tell you what you want to hear. Nobody in senior management/leadership in the USA truly understand lean or strategies of implementation. I don't know how they are doing overseas. People can say the word professional, but that is the extent. Nobody truely understand project management in the USA...WBS is nonexistent so milestones are unattainable.

Pros

Job security if you have good attendance & don't ask for too much time off. The nature of the business requires poor hours & days off.

Cons

The dynamics of the work environment change very quickly. Just when you get accustomed to doing a task they move you to another. This can be seen as diversity , opportunity or poor planning.
