Pros

If you like to live there, it's a boon for all the clock riders. If you're a fan of the Peter Principle, here's your golden opportunity. If you enjoy being blamed for other department's activities outside of your control, feed your neurosis. From the company that shipped Carrier jobs to Mexico comes a new face in town, UTC proudly crushing spirits everyday! Come and enjoy the thrills and theatrics of crap management as they scramble to rearrange deck furniture on the unsinkable circus everyone has come to love. Non existent morale, we have it, ever reducing crummy benefits get them while they last and that's not all. If you lie awake at night worrying if upper management is getting paid enough we got you covered! Profits are more important than ever as all of your efforts in trying to meet ridiculous monthly quotas that used to show up in the form of IPP; that's going to upper management called AVP as they pad their own profits at your expense. Our nifty quality police force insure that you remain compliant short of issuing bathroom passes, so throw that cell phone away because even paper generates deadly ESD! Hold still, any talented professionals remain in a glass-box with no hope of escaping because of "business reasons," pointless meetings, nursery school training. Speaking of bright future the inevitability of grooming this industry to off-shoring legacy products and fully automate everything else in the US is right around the corner, yay.

Cons

Common sense doesn't exist, if you're a critical thinker it's a baron wasteland for you. Executives out of touch, abusive managers, gas-lighting the workforce with inconsistent policies/workflow, part shortages and defective parts with a heavy focus on quantity over quality, benefits are waning, heavy enforcement of policing policies (even if they're incorrect) to the point of pervasive bullying. You're either connected or treated like hot garbage, recognition for your work doesn't exist unless you're in the "in" crowd. Too many socialites standing around with absolutely no accountability while you're crapped on if you're a minute late from your whopping 10 minute break.

Pros

40 hr/wk Easy work for the pay Ability to use vacation with little notice Some leadership is willing to help you move up and increase pay quickly

Cons

Leadership does not communicate with one another Little room to move up or into another department without someone leaving Poor standards in comparison to other sites within the company Employees who do not meet efficiency standards receive no consequences and are not informed of process issues (leadership issue) Tribal knowledge seems to run the site, not standard work It is a family affair.
