Pros

The company is quite progressive.

Cons

The medical coverage is fairly terrible. High premiums, high deductible, and often denial of coverage for medical treatment. Pay has not kept up with inflation, nor has it kept up with an increase in travel requirements or separation from family. I have seen a large number of gatherings and events, but these are not available for remotely located employees. There are also localized benefits at official sites, but there is no compensation for the lack of these for remote employees. Recently made aware of many benefits and pay differences for employees in other countries, and it would seem that in the United States the company provides just above the minimum of what is required by law and regulation.

Pros

If you’re looking for a place where accountability doesn’t exist and you can do the bare minimum while getting paid maximum overtime, this is your spot. No approval needed, no questions asked—just stay late, watch YouTube, and collect your paycheck (plus free food if you linger long enough). Weekends are basically a free-for-all since the people who are supposed to supervise are either absent or the worst offenders.

Cons

This place is what happens when a parent company buys a smaller one and then completely forgets it exists. There is zero meaningful oversight. Management knows exactly what’s going on—they just don’t care as long as quotas are eventually met. Efficiency, integrity, and actual productivity mean nothing here. Documentation is either nonexistent or completely useless, full of errors and missing critical information. Parts are constantly missing, and instead of fixing the system, people exploit it to justify delays and stretch their hours. The entire operation rewards time-wasting over competence. The culture actively punishes anyone who tries to work a normal, honest 8-hour day. Want recognition or a raise? Better start padding your hours. The more time you burn, the more management “appreciates” you. It’s not about results—it’s about how long you can pretend to be working. Managers, being salaried, conveniently disappear when it matters most—nights and weekends—while turning a blind eye to the dysfunction they fully understand. Leadership isn’t absent by accident; it’s absent by choice.
