Avantages
Very safety-oriented. Profit-sharing is nice. Overtime is great, if you can signup early enough for it. I would like for more to be done, but that's not what they would like to spend their money on.
Inconvénients
When bringing up issues, like non-working equipment, lack of support equipment or concerns of trying to meet a quota without all the aforementioned machinery necessary to do so, it can take up to 11-15 months for any progress to be made. Even if it is directly impacting production, morale or causing excessive employee turnover. New supervisors tend to not know the intricacies of the job that the people they are managing are doing. I had a supervisor ask a question, which I could only equate to: Imagine you worked in bakery and your supervisor of over a year, turned to you and asked, "Why do we have an oven?", "What's with all this 'flour' you say you need to run this business?", "Why do we have tons of cake frosting in the storeroom?" It was a 'are you being serious right now' moment. This supervisor was, in fact, being serious. (This was a supervisor who was making MORE than us, yet they didn't even know how our machines worked, or know of the other 2-dozen factors that can inhibit production to our department. They just said we needed to "do better at making quota.")
