26 1/2 years lost job in workforce reduction corporate wide
Worked up to 70 hrs per week, Last 15 years in management doing Lean Implementation. Company paid salary and an incentive program. Incentive averaged out at $10 per hour.
Environment is Hot and Humid on the floor which was the hardest part of the job plus using oversized wrenches to tighten oversized nuts. Most enjoyable part was teaching employees 5s, QIS, Failure Analysis and TQM.

Reward place to work
Typical day included performing annual surveillance, treatment of occupational injuries and illnesses,case management of occupational injuries. This position was very rewarding. The hourly work force is very engaging and appreciative of all you do for them. I increased my knowledge of Safety practices, The work culture is one of "Safety First". The hardest part of the job was the loss of co-workers. The most enjoyable part of the job was the development of friendships with co-workers

Good working environment
Could be very stressful. Some of the people had a tendency to be dishonest about who did what and how. Otherwise, a good place to be employed. Benefits very generous.

No room for advancement
I last worked there over 13 years ago. The same four foreman are in the same positions of authority today. Other than that, it can be a good career if you like doing the same things over and over.

Difficult workplace possibly to be shut down in 2019.
Go out and stand and watch start-up for several hours. Investigate Downtime (which was 40% at start and I was able to drop it to 30%) thoroughly for root cause and corrective actions. I learned I have to be more in depth when hiring onto a new company. Management was not organized at all. Workplace culture was severely damaged by Management and the vast majority of the Union Employees were disgruntled and looking for work elsewhere. The hardest part of the job was having to create my own tracking system for daily metric capturing. Once I created it, it was an easy excel tracker that made my job easier by being able to talk about if we "won or lost" for the day.
ProsSome good people
ConsCompletely disorganized and very possible the site will be shut down.
