Business Outlook

Pros

The people I work with are great and generally speaking want me to succeed. In my experience, if you ask for help people are willing to give it, but people are busy and you have to ask. The executive committee has made a real effort to improve communication and I think its working. There is also currently a lot of work being done on the facility which is nice. During the pandemic, they have been very accommodating to ensure employee safety while maintain productivity. I have a lot of room to grow and a lot of people willing to help me get there.

Cons

On-boarding is tough. MTS has so much tribal knowledge and it can be hard to learn what is going on. The products are hard to understand and there is not a great knowledge base that is easily accessible.
