Pros

Great exposure to a wide range of testing processes. The coworkers are some of the greatest people you could ever ask to work with. They will help you grow and learn about the processes and materials and how to succeed.

Cons

They say their workforce and testing professionals are their strength but only those willing to keep working without career advancement and Pay advancements. They make a lot of promises about their GREAT Career Ladder for your future but 7 years down the road with excuse after excuse that although deserving advancement the Economy, cost of acquisitions, and Corporate Restructuring make it impossible for your Career advancement at this time get back with us later this year. 4 years of ever 6 moths getting back with them and its never a good time. Why would they advance you and pay more while you are already doing the works at a cheaper cost for them. Established a Profit sharing program based on plant performance and come the second time they have to pay out they refuse to pay and change the program to be company wide while they continue purchasing companies that are operating at losses. The grueling amount of work pouring through with limited manpower and even if you meet time schedules every monthly progress meeting and corporate all staff is we can't meet our corporate goals unless you preform better and meet our customers timely expectations.

Pros

Good starting salary, interesting work, sometimes possible to earn a decent bonus. Some people who work there are very nice, some camaraderie.

Cons

Toxic team energy, poor and even toxic management, constantly changing management team and expectations, no long term strategy, no clear or attainable path to career advancement, no job specific training, high expectations, bonus structure changes often so once you earn good money it will go away, tend to overload existing employees instead of hiring enough people, “boys club” on some levels (lots of favoritism). My job basically got switched the minute I started to include way more responsibilities. Diversity initiatives, but in practice I felt there was still discrimination. Bit of a revolving door, did not seem to be much value placed on retention. Individual sites basically compete against each other, you could be doing well or have a good idea and they may still give the opportunity to someone else across the company. Overall didn’t seem like anyone (even my own team) really cared that I worked there.
