Avantages
The company seemed to have great training and development programs and was willing equip people with the knowledge to do a better job.
Inconvénients
Unfortunately, all that training went to waste as the conditions in the production envrionment made the training nearly impossible to apply. Corporate management seemed to be more focused on making sure the machines were running wide open all the time, even if the machinery/people/materials weren't capable. They even coined a cute saying, "Safely produce a quality box as fast as possible in a clean and organized box plant." With the priority being 1. Safety 2. Quality 3. Speed 4. Housekeeping. Sadly, the only thing that was ever empasized was running fast. The union-management relationship was also very adversarial, making the jobs of the front-line supervision and production managers difficult to say the least. Didn't take long to figure out that I didn't want to waste the early years of my career fighting a losing battle.
