Pros

The benefits package was a very generous one including health, vision and dental at a fairly low price. The ability to transfer if you met the qualifications was always there.

Cons

The pay for a Forklift operator was below the average for that job description. The management would largely not take input from employees below them. There was also a very large sense of the salary payed office employees being a on a different level than the hourly production employees. The scheduled breaks were very short;being two ten minute breaks and a half-hour lunch for a 10 hour day.

Pros

Interesting programs with good technology development. People are very friendly and the work environment is pleasant. Benefits are good with 9/80 work schedule.

Cons

Benefits are being reduced. Communications are deteriorating, and it appears there are increasing disconnects at the executive level. Reduction in force approach is becoming less respectful of the individuals.

Pros

-Good benefits. -Pay is competitive (assuming you did a good job negotiating your starting salary...don't screw this up!) -Coworkers are down to earth and willing to help.

Cons

-The pace is really slow. -The way management handles R&D is...questionable. Funding does not seem to reach the "right" people in the right amounts, and there is constant fiddling back and forth about how much of your granted money can be spent and when...it's already been granted, yet they don't want you to spend it at your own pace? I can understand that they don't want you to waste stupidly, but sometimes, it just doesn't make sense from an engineering POV. -Too much management overhead!!!
