Pros

The pay is better entry level than any other place 75k for Engineers right out of college and you can ask for 80k-85k if you Coop there.

Cons

Typical manufacturing bs you have to deal with. Upper management needs to make changes or you will continue to see young engineers come for the salary and bonus and leave after a year. ( If you stay a year you dont have to pay back your signing bonus )

Pros

Schedule, flexibility, pay, co- workers, relationships

Cons

No COLA, annual reviews pushed back, comp reviews consistently pushed back even further. Non value added meetings & ‘fluff’ with Koch book reading requirements (which directly conflict in the respect philosophy when it comes to comp reviews), no consistency in business units- ie. Moving from one to another group a vast difference in how they treat/respect employees
