Pros

Co-workers are great. You get to work on amazing one of a kind projects.

Cons

There is no room for advancement, it doesn't matter how long you've been there or what you know. They will hold you back and hire a person with no experience to fill a job that people have been striving twords for years. If your a member of the good ole boys club, you can do anything with no repercussions. There are no yearly reviews and you can forget about a performance raise, they will keep piling stuff on a person with no incentive for the employee. Alot of issues in production comes from hiring people with no knowledge of a production setting. They are giving higher positions that many people already within the company would be far better at and they would learn quicker. When I started 6yrs ago, the atmosphere was completely different and employee morale was very high, but years of passing good people over on promotions just to give it to one of the bosses friends who have no idea what they are doing has severely hurt the employees view of the company. They will tell you one thing and then do the opposite. There is no point showing the company what you are actually capable of, because they will pigeon hole you and hold you back especially if you have a physical disability. I use to love working for the company but everyones loyalty to them is wearing extremely thin. Issues never make to the CEO or the higher ups. It gets sluffed aside and forgotten about.

Pros

Janicki is a large company and expanding quickly, but still has the feel of a family owned company. There is a great work to life balance and they focus a lot of the core values. Although its a 24-7 operation, communication from the floor to uppers is always open. Everyone is genuinely willing to help and are happy to train. I have worked here over a year and don't regret the move. Its a fantastic company to work for.

Cons

Its a faced paced environment that requires you to think on your feet at all times. Its not a plug and play world. So if you can't function in that type of work environment, you won't succeed.

Pros

Pay and benefits are good. Company is growing like crazy. If you are able to stay away from the corporate politics and gossip, you will thrive. Management honestly wants employees to have a good work/life balance.

Cons

Company is growing like crazy and there are changes coming to the org chart. Lots of different tech solutions being used and support for all of them can be a challenge. No pay boost for obtaining government clearance unless job is 'engineer'.
