Pros
Profitable employee stock ownership program, good salary, and paid overtime if you can get it approved. The company is very healthy overall.
Cons
The company started as a smaller more family focused work place but has expanded tremendously due to extreme growth and larger market share ownership in the nuclear industry. This extreme growth has led to the over expansion of VPs and mid level management (mostly hired from outside the company) and a segregated division oriented structure. Some division managers/directors run the business units purely focused on profit margin with draconian measures and little regard to work/life balance or interest of developing employees. Other divisions are run completely different with better management and focus on individual employees. It feels like several small companies working in the same building, each with individual interest in mind. Senior management seems detached and is never involved as long as the division meets or exceeds budget. Overall, ENERCON has turned into an engineering job shop that is not focused on employee satisfaction but rather focused on pushing competitors out of the market by undercutting costs. There is little concern on the high employee turnover rate and it appears that the long term plan is to recruit college hires as replacement for experienced employees as they are cheaper.
