Pros

In general, the company and th emanagers set very clear business goals. The product planning team works very well. Morale within the teams is generally quite high.

Cons

The work is often not very technically challenging. While reviews by Jeff are very inspirational, sometimes the lack of academic or technical challenges is a bit of a downer.

Pros

+ smart application of manufacturing tools/techniques which are effective and efficient + Toyota LEAN concepts applied to drive continuous improvements + fast pace, high energy, talented managers / specialists + goal clarity and focus: safety, quality, productivity. + routine metric measures + innovative, growing existing business and expanding to new horizons

Cons

- priorities piled on. Managers invariably work too long and/or miss deadlines. - focus on fast to execute discourages pushback / challenging questions - no time for team or individual development. - "peak" season shouldn't mean working 70 hrs/wk. And if you work 55 hours, you're "not committed". - base salary too low. - Pathway program demotivating for those not in the program who perform well.
