Vantaggi
The people on the manufacturing floor. A lot of good people
Svantaggi
Upper management accountability.
Blame their problems on people below them.
Constant avoidable material shortage.
I had to create my own departments to support manufacturing in several areas that impact production. From material flow to processes, and continuous improvements. Management is incompetent and more concerned about protecting self image. Threats about your job. Smerks and power struggles. Don't communicate if management doesn't like you. Not free thinkers, always your fault.
Never have a solution for a problem, management advice is just do better. Quick on developing a spreadsheet or document without engagement of the project. You need to sign this and that. Management has the tendency to belittle people on the manufacturing floor if a mistake is made instead of helping with a problem. Management is primary respondable creating hostile work environment. Cannot trust information will be confidential at any level. Personally, I have experience with this. Things about me have come back to me from people that shouldn't know. Also about others. Such as, do you really want to make him a team lead? Look him up online! Not appropriate and unproffesinal from holders of personal information. Do yourself a favor and stay away
