Pros

interesting work. compensation and benefits are pretty good.

Cons

coddles bad employees under the guise of "bringing them up", which rarely actually happens. technician promotion process near impossible. almost all non-tech positions are outside hires. little chance for advancement. training is virtually non-existent.

Pros

Great people, okay schedule, some perks and benefits were okay.

Cons

Manufacturing, so always wanting more with less. Hard to please as they are constantly changing everything.
