Pros

Coop program. If you need a year or two of job experience on your resume, this is a good place to start. We do have some big name customers that look good on a resume. Niche market; but, limited growth.

Cons

Not a place to learn or apply new technologies. The potential to bring in new tech, new ideas, new anything is nil. Very much driven by the P&L which leads to little or no investment in capital. Any investment would impact the exorbitant bonuses offered ONLY to upper management. There is also a lack of connection between departments - everyone seems to have their own goals, but they don't all align - so, communication is extremely difficult & strained. And, there is absolutely no communication from the top down - no engagement, no recognition and little interaction between the 'upstairs' and 'downstairs' employees. No defined core values, vision or mission statements. Extremely low 'merit' raises that are not connected to goals - primarily budgetary related. LOTS of paper & no method of organizing the 'paper'. Are more inclined to outsource production than improve production. This is due to lack of any sort of organizational/employee development strategy.

I have seen a lot of positive changes since January 2018. I attribute much of it to new employees - they are bringing fresh ideas, thoughts about technology, new approaches/strategies and more. We are not averse to learning. And, I would welcome a confidential conversation - my door is always open. And, I too, am so very proud of our Coop program and the relationship we have created with Northeastern. This year, I reached out to UMLowell to expand our program. Again, please do not hesitate to come chat with me.
