Employment status: former
Experience level: Senior

Comfortable work environment, good people (mostly), Essex plant is black sheep because it can't be profitable.
Pros: Good place to learn, develop skills.  Managers good about work/life balance - they realize family is important.
Cons: Benefits get worse every year, layoffs, uncertain future.  Older plant with older technology trying to hang on.  Wish we had IBM consultants to improve our own business.
