Pros

I can't think of a single positive thing to say about this toxic organization. Just say no and keep looking.

Cons

Clueless, indifferent upper management. Petty, inflexible rules are rigidly enforced. Bullying, rudeness and incivility are common place. No work life balance; salaried employees must work 9 hour days and are pressured to work more.You will not be treated like a professional there; good people don't last; they leave because of the toxic corporate culture. Overall, lots of unhappy people working in an unpleasant, unprofessional environment. Don't join their ranks!

Pros

Work/Life Balance, Flexible Work Hours, Interesting Work. Benefits are fairly good.

Cons

Poor compensation and no raises even when company is doing well. Managers are clueless about the state of the company and completely disconnected. They continue to keep hiring more managers but not replacing the engineers, fabricators, assemblers and other specialists who really drive the company. Morale is atrocious. President is never here, gives off the vibe he simply doesn’t care about what happens here aside from making more money and decreasing costs/overhead. Terrible environment compared to what it used to be before the manager changes/shift from a big layoff last year.
