Pros

*Won't close due to pandemic, due to government contracts *Decent benefits, some tool reimbursement, moving expenses

Cons

*Pay is laughable for the area: cost of living in Denver is terrible. I shouldn't have to struggle to pay for a one bedroom apartment as skilled labor. Inflation is only making things worse. *Logistics is a mess: we are often waiting on parts and kits due to organizational bottlenecks, and lack of backshop personnel. We're basically building kits on the floor now. *Terrible upper management: the office workers are clueless on what's going on on the floor, they only see in dollars & hours. Communication is nonexistent, our immediate managers are ignored. Deadlines are almost always missed due to cooperate over promising on contacts, and expecting the floor to work perfectly and tirelessly to meet it. *Retention and morale are low: people are leaving for greener pastures as fast as they can. Only the people who have serious roots in the community are staying, like families.

Pros

Only pro was the hiring process which consisted of two interviews and then an offer. That should have been the first red flag.

Cons

Private Equity controlled organization. No onboarding process or training provided. You are sent to their HQ for two days of learning how to turn your computer on and how to open a couple of computer applications. They are looking for a zero to hero hire. Be prepared. Tumultuous with lots of turnover. Was told this was a career-long role and in a couple of short months, the CEO was fired, the VP of sales took off. New executive leadership team created an environment of fear and layoffs. Lots of huge egos and very little tolerance for questioning poor business decisions and strategies. No attention given to the voice of the customer and what would strategically help move the needle. It really gives off the odor of a company trying to be sold.
