Pros

It really depends on what motivates you. If you are about the money, then this is a good place to work.

Cons

You can not get anything accomplished because there is much protocol that stops the company from progressing. There are a lot of closed minded, pig headed, short term thinkers who don't want to see change because it scares them or goes above what they can comprehend. Technology advancements are to be avoided because they already have a system that "works". When they do make a technological advance, it's usually an uniformed choice, not based on experience or experienced advice or one watered down by costs that, in the end, hamper the original goal of lean manufacturing or cost savings. There are a lot of people that don't have any hands on experience in manufacturing other than on paper. It's like the owner of a car telling the mechanic how to tune that car when all the owner has done is read about it or had someone else tell them about tuning a car. If you are motivated by the success of developing something meaningful that works to advance the company, have people listen to you and not be frightened or threatened by your experience, you won't be happy here.

Pros

This is one of the nicest companies to work for. Everyone is genuine, down t earth, and kind. People are eager to answer your questions and give you meaningful work if you ask for it.

Cons

If you don't work to plug yourself in, you will not have the working knowledge to participate in the job. Without your own effort, it would be easy to coast by and fly under the radar. It is difficult to fold in a completely unexperienced intern into contracting unless the intern is proactive to learn and ask questions.
