Pros

The people I work with are great

Cons

Terrible salary for what you do. You are asked to do way more than your job description with no expectation of compesation. Management, middle, upper and executive are clueless. I've met very few who I really feel they know what they are talking about. Suppliers are never paid on time, and jobs are constantly being outsourced and when those employees make a mistake, those still left are asked to fix their mistakes.

Pros

The entire building (there are several buildings within the Pittsburgh site) was recently given the opportunity to work a 9/80 schedule (working 80 hours in 9 days with every other Friday off), giving us a home/work life balance. However, there is a possibility that management may take away 9/80 later in 2016. Every building has a wide variety of employees from all over the world. Decent benefits, 401k. Many opportunities to travel nationally and internationally.

Cons

If and when a position cannot be filled, another employee from another (e.g. European) site will be brought in to temporarily or long term fill the position. You'll most likely be doing 2-3 persons worth of work due to the lack of employees. The turnover rate is ridiculous. Seriously talented individuals don't stay. A good company to begin your career/gain experience, but not a forever company. Managers would rather hear what they want than the truth. Finger pointing is a popular game. Salaries are lower than competitors. HR could care less about their employees.
