Pros
Many departments offer flexibility for salary employees to allow for personal matters like doctors appointments to be handled with ease. Every manager is different though and some are well known micromanagers. While management leaves some to be desired, the lower level employees I work with are phenomenal and the only reason I still work here. The job itself is so much fun and I am able to learn something new every day.
Cons
Upper management is rolling out changes to the plant's operating system before they are ready. This is causing upset conditions among employees, leading to middle management pushing lower level employees out, and looking for people who can "get on board". This is also leading to feelings of job insecurity and anxiety of what's to come. Communication to the lower level employees lacks greatly.
