Pros

new work can be learnt if given opportunities. Very old school.

Cons

Very unprofessional environment. Too much politics. No training provided. Blame game. No professionalism at all. If you work here you will have to deal with the women dominated enviroment which is if no good. Too many mood swings,too many mood swings,too much ego and no knowledge at all. working culture is really bad. HR is a puppet.

Pros

If you are intelligent and enjoy being surrounded by stuck up people who are not as smart as you and who work much less harder than you yet make more money than you than voila this is your perfect dream job.

Cons

I was given a work load three times as time consuming as the other Production Managers who are juiced in while I received much less pay in terms of salary. The management plays big time favoritism and selects "royalty" for the cushy jobs while giving the hard working employees the shaft. Average level of intelligence for the workers is surprisingly below average. Human resources department is corrupted and protects upper management. Bad managers who do not really know how to motivate. Bad people all around.
