Good pay and benefits. You will learn the manufacturing business from top to bottom, every aspect of it, quickly. Working with a talented workforce, of course there will be a few bad apples in a bunch.

Lack of promotional opportunity.

Promotion is only for a select few. There is no clear advancement plan with clear objectives to achieve.

The rating is set; almost everyone will get "Achiever," with only about 10% for "Top Achiever."

On another hand, the workload is not equally distributed. Some people will have a heavy workload, causing stress and problems with work-life balance.

Hence, you can deliver a lot but be compensated equally the same as others who deliver less.

Travel is heavy; you can be away for up to 24 months.

For a manufacturing manager: Be fair to your employees. Give them an equal chance to advance.
