Pros

the engine division is still profitable and stays ahead of competition. very diverse in product portfolio and markets served. senior leadership knows how to make balance sheet pretty to please wall st.

Cons

red tapes everywhere. bureaucracy. large group of mediocre or even incompetent middle management. efficiency can double if you fire half of them. relatively lower pay compared to industry average. sneaky and powerful human resource department makes you wonder who is really running the company.

Good pay, good training but not middle management friendly

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, good training, great safety culture they truly expect all employees to be safe and they empower the employees to stop work if a situation is unsafe.

Cons

Management above the branch level is heavy handed and do not allow any of the lower managers (the ones actually on the front lines) to make any decisions regarding the business. I was a supervisor for field technicians and was let go for being rude to employee's. In my experience when an employee needs to be reminded over and over again how the company wants certain things done sometimes an honest and frank conversation needs to happen.
