Pros

If you like extra money theres lots of OT. 401k & health benefits, company car, cell phone, laptop & tools. Work from your home as your base location.

Cons

There's lots of OT & its often not optional. 2.5% average annual raises dont keep pace with inflation of 3%. So annually you are taking a .5% pay cut to stay employed. Poor life balance, constant pit in stomach when out during any small down time just thinking about the next piece of equipment to break.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
