      Pros

      - Good process for getting projects approved. - You get a lot of responsibility. - Owners are very business savvy and are growing the business.

      Cons

      - General lack of caring about people, it's all business here. - Compensation is average and isn't adequate for the high expectation level. - Expect to spend your >60 hrs at work. No work life balance. - Aggressive atmosphere that gets hostile at times due to everyone being stressed out. - Low moral due to high turnover rate. - Plant is a long drive from Houston and there aren't any places within 15min from the plant to get lunch.

      It's an OK company

      Pros

      It's a growing company, so you get to experience some things that are already in place at other companies....a unique experience. The company is a private company so it is not subject to some of the scrutiny that may come from publicly traded companies.

      Cons

      There isn't great communication within the company. There are a lot of changes that are not effectively communicated. Because the company is private, there isn't a lot of visability to proper compliance measures. I think an external company should assist in putting the measures in place.
