Pros
Getting hands-on experience with product.
Cons
There is a huge divide among plant floor employees and office employees. More so because office positions typically all need a college degree, causing opportunities for advancement to be minimum. Negative attitudes and resentment are plentiful. What’s more is that upper management actually takes stabs at employees behind clothes doors. The worst experience had to be when my counter part and new boss that had been in a previous position with the company sucked onto one another and became best friends that would talk trash behind people’s backs, throw people under the bus, and pat themselves on the back for accolades they did not achieve or were not worthy of. They continued building one another up while pushing others down. They created a sour work environment that was felt among the entire team and ended up driving employees away from the company.
