      Pros

      Large company divided into COC's each an entity in and of its self. Has a nice fitness room. Company promotes a healthy life style. Good people to work with. Work environment is nice.

      Cons

      Very difficult for vertical mobility. Management has unrealistic expectations of employee objectives and goals. Business downturn resulted in benefit reductions and layoffs.

      Pros

      Decent benefits Above average pay Very Good PTO Excellent co-workers

      Cons

      Current CEO (not Mike Hawthorne) is making very questionable decisions about manufacturing locations. Doesn't seem rooted in sound business decisions. Parent company is German and has taken over most of the decision making for the product teams. Everything is about short term profits, leadership is non-existent, especially at the plant level. Promotions are available to an extent, then very hard to breakthrough to management.

      Pros

      Great people to work with. Very smart and talented engineers and technicians.

      Cons

      HR has way more power than I’ve ever seen at any company and upper leadership/HR doesn’t seem to ask engineering directors for input anymore. Promotion is impossible for top performers due to a bell curve HR sets across the company, and during recent layoffs it seemed like a roulette wheel instead of planning.
