Pros
  • Fortune 500 Company
  • Plenty of opportunities to learn many different things, even outside of scope; just ask!
  • Promotes work safety, even for shop floor workers!
Cons
  • Management sometimes makes questionable decisions. For example, system upgrades that seem more like "punishment" since you're losing maybe five good features just to gain one good one.

  • Workload fluctuates from time to time, which feels unstable. One moment, the workload might seem stale. The next day, you might find out you have a bunch of new items in your compliance, and they're all labeled as late items!

  • While culture values are promoted, they are not strictly enforced enough. Some people still take shortcuts that are simply the wrong answer.

Advice to Management

Upper management should really be listening to complaints about system upgrades and what impact they have on all groups. From what it seems like, training new workers will become harder and harder.
