Management is terrible.

Pros

Great industry. I work in the human patient simulation division, and the products we produce are great. Our company was bought by CAE two years ago and our focus has changed, which makes the mission a little less clear, but the company started with the idea of saving lives. How can you beat that?

Cons

Management is unreal. There are quarterly layoffs, and upper management always has a new plan. The President announced in January at a Sales meeting, "there will be no layoffs, but I may fire someone before the end of the week." This was his idea of humor. Vacation and expense policies have changed retroactively. Salaries are low, but hours are long.

It's a boys club, lots of promotions for the buddies, but demotions for everyone else, lay off older employees, low pay, sneaky

Hard work bad management

Pros

Good coworkers that do their best despite horrible structure in the workplace.

Cons

Outdated ideals and logic. Most executives still have a boys club mentality. Higher ups have a habit of throwing workers under the bus. Some of the positive reviews on this company are clearly fake reviews from the HR department
