      Focus on more team building sessions. Allow for international travel to go to conventions and learn more about the industry and to develop your own networks.

      Pros

      Great benefits, generous PTO, high safety culture to ensure staff practices safe behaviors.

      Cons

      Woburn used to be an enjoyable place to work before new management rolled in. Overworked & underpaid, management likes brown-nosers and doesn't credit the true hard-working individuals. Seems like the values are going out the window and not trying to retain the great talent on site, as people are dropping like flies. Need to hold people accountable for their mistakes. Senior Management pretends to care about the little people.

      Advice to Management

      A little too late for any advice.
