Pros

They have the grip system. Unlimited projects.

Cons

There are 3 departments but NO MANAGEMENT communicates between each other and when they do they don't tell their employees. During shift exchange, ALL supervisors are gone by 3pm which they tend to have a gap in communication from day to night shift.

Pros

There is a strong sense of purpose and team here. The compensation is above average, but not necessarily the best. There is a lot of support for pursuing professional development.

Cons

There is more bureaucracy than there should be. Information is not always shared well between groups.
