      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits (if you ever get time to use them)

      Cons

      Scheduled 10 hour days, upper management expectation and work assigned requires you work 14 hour days + take home work and scheduled six days week every week plus multiple Sundays. One Sunday off a month occasionally. All salary no comp or OT pay. Frequent mechanical breakdowns so you never meet "standard".

      Not the company it once was.

      Pros

      Competitive salary, pleasant working surroundings, good 401K and benefits

      Cons

      micro-management, lots of 'reductions in force' (management doesn't want to call them layoffs). What was once a great company to work for, even 3 years ago, has become just a part of a large corporate machine with no heart or soul. Loyalty to the company and years of experience is no longer considered valuable under the new ownership.
