Pros
I learned another area of materials management.
Kontras
Current management very "clickish". Not supportive of any staff outside that group. Nepotism is rampant at the company. If there was a family reunion out of state and the plane crashed most of the employees would be gone "kinda" nepotism. This atmosphere generates favoritism, defensive and counterintuitive behavior across management. My advice would be to cover yourself at all times (CYA, baby!) And realize going into the job that it doesn't matter what your level of dedication may be, it won't be appreciated or supported by administration unless you choose to spend hours after work reinforcing the clickish rituals (even if at the expense of your family. ) Most of higher management do not have children, nor want them so do not expect parental support within policies or time off work (unless part of the click or family member).
