Pros

Job security, decent work environment,. FNGP-Manchester was a great company under the old regime. With a real retirement/pension benefit, great health insurance & many other small perks.

Cons

Certain senior manager(s) used fear tactics on their staff & though they "talked the lean talk" didn't "walk the lean walk" Many good managers left or suffered stress related illnesses. Since 1998 plant managers have been bonus-driven to the detriment of employees & the company.

Management disconnect. Unwilling to provide resources.

Business Outlook

Pros

You get a lot of experience in a short period of time.

Cons

Helix struggles to understand the requirements to ensure minimal defects. There is constant corner cutting and rationalization of why things are done the wrong way. There is a disconnect between management and employees. New projects are constantly given to teams despite those teams trying to clean up messes from lack of resources on previous projects. There is no way to get ahead of the workload. Once a company goes lean they stay lean.
