Your co-workers will be from a very diverse mix of companies and industries: usually very well educated and with great histories. Tucson, San Diego, and Azusa are all excellent places to live, although very expensive ( if you are coming from a low cost area like Texas, the prices here will make your nose bleed - two to three times the cost of other areas). The industry has very little real competition, so margins are really quite unbelievable for low tech plastic parts. Field trips can be very informative, and the sales team is excellent. All the type "A" personalities makes for some competitive jousting for resources both financial and human.
Cons
The work environment has to be experienced to be believed. All the makings of a Greek tragedy: the managers kill off all of the workers in a vain effort to appease the god LaFetra, only to find that no one is left to do the work, and they eventually starve to death themselves as the organizational output drops to zero.
All of the manufacturing has moved to Mexico: marketing or engineering employees have to travel to Nogales or Tijuana at least once a month. Major drug wars are occurring in both cities: the Nogales police chief was just murdered this week, following a gun battle in downtown last week that left many dead and injured; Tijuana had over 100 people murdered in just the last few months, with many bodies showing up chopped into pieces and parts, beheaded, cut fingers stuffed into their mouths. And you will have to travel into this paradise south of the border on a regular basis!
The turnover in all of the SBU's is ferocious, and comes in bursts two to three times a year. The change in staffing of the Commercial and Contractor SBU's from 2006 to today is very telling.
Of 11 in that department at the time, 3 are still there, one has transferred to better pastures in the company. The department turnover is 72.7% in two years. Three have been hired and left in that period, which would make theses numbers even worse.
