Pros

Stable work, 9/80 schedule, good pay. There are a lot of new components in the shop that will require many new positions to be filled.

Cons

Turnover in management and production employees over the last 2 years has led to a great deal of inexperience. Management has turned to hiring ex-whirlpool employees to build nuclear reaction-containing components, while these people only know how to build washing machines, dryers, and refrigerators.

Pros

Pay, 401K match (6%), 9/80 schedule, peers and department workers were very nice to work with

Cons

Severely understaffed in many departments causing strain on good hard working employees. Communication stinks! Stop letting go of needed experienced workers to later hire non experienced. This is a waste of resources and time to train a new employee that will probably be scared away once they see they can not access the internet from their desktop computers. Plus costs of security clearance when they walk out the door 6 mo later. Some senior management ethical and professional behaviors need reviewed after good employees leave to rid themselves of this culture built in that environment. You can't trust going to HR with legitimate ethical violation issues for fear you will be shown the door.

Pros

Good hours, good pay, great people.

Cons

Sometimes a bit slow. Construction takes too long, and there's a misjudgement on what is "hot."
