Pros

Experience the stress and hectic work involved with a manufacturing line. Lots of interaction with local labor union.

Slow promotion even when promised fast turnover rate. Lack of engineering application until promoted to Washcoat engineering and Process engineering.

Business Outlook

Pros

There is an extensive repository of information and helpful, friendly experts at the headquarters at Billingham.

Cons

The role is in the regional offices and is not one where you will see much manifestation of your skills as an engineer as the extent of your advice may be an adjustment to pressures or temperatures. Being focused on sales, significant technical work is not often required so there is not much of a challenge for hardcore engineering minds.
